Hey yall. Right now, I'm making a program that you can make "admins" for the program, (not the computer admins). So what I was wondering is. Is there a way I can make sections, or breakpoints in a file, so when a new admin is created it wont overwrite the existing Admin(s). The is the layout I want kind of.

Admin Settings
Admin1
Username = Seth
Password = Hall
------------------------------------------- <<<Breakpoint
Admin2
Username = bigguy
password = smallbody
-------------------------------------------<<<Breakpoint

Just something like that. As long as it can keep them separate from each other, while they are in the same file. If it is possible how also can you look at specific sections, so when they login, I can see if they provided credentials match any of the file sections?

One more thing, the other day I was trying to code something to save computer logs to. So I used this
file.writealltext(my.computer.info.directorypath & "Logs for " & date.now & ".txt"

and I got a IO Exceptions. Any ideas where I can still use this format and it work?
