How can I write data in a text file and user not be able to read them
in a text editor ? By creating a binary file ?

I tried to open a file as below but when I try to open it in Notepad I
am able to see the ASCII characters. What is the solution ?

Dim var_value as string
Open "file" For Binary Access As #1

Put #1,,var_value

thanks a lot in advance!
