Right, below is what i have made so far, the user can enter their name, age, and address which is all that i want, then when they click submit, their info is shown in the output box, which is situated underneath the submit button.

But i want to also copy this user info to an external text document when they have clicked submit, anybody think they know how?

CODE
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click
        Dim Name As String
        Dim Age As Integer
        Dim Address As String
        Dim Output

        Name = txtName.Text
        Age = txtAge.Text
        Address = txtAddress.Text

        Output = ""

        Output = Name & vbCrLf & _
        Age & vbCrLf & _
        Address

        txtOutput.Text = Output


    End Sub
End Class


Thanx all x

I think this is what you're looking for:
CODE

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click
        Dim Name As String = ""
        Dim Age As Integer = 0
        Dim Address As String = ""
        Dim Output As String = ""
        Dim fileLoc As String = "C:\test.txt"

        Name = txtName.Text
        Age = txtAge.Text
        Address = txtAddress.Text

        Output = Name & vbCrLf & _
        Age & vbCrLf & _
        Address

        txtOutput.Text = Output

        If File.Exists(fileLoc) Then
            Using sw As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(fileLoc)
                sw.Write(Output)
            End Using
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
