It sounds like you are executing that code into a loop, may be a
for..next or While..wend; That's not so important. The fact is that
"Write create" is creating a new file each time the loop executes,
erasing the content of your recent created file.

If in the last step of your loop you're not writing something, the file
appears as empty. You could try appending content to the file instead,
using the "append" keyword at the end of your statement:

>  hFile = Open Application.Path &/ "prot.log" For Write Append


Hope that helps, regards.
