Messagebox show


 

My fisrt question: Even if the error message appears, it writes and reads config.txt in the background. But why am I getting this error message? How do I update the codes? Where am I doing wrong?

My second question: SaveToFile is written in a single name here. What I want to do exactly is to create a new config file by randomly numbering the automatic config.txt in the specified file every time I save to file (For example: 123456789_config.txt, 123456788_config.txt). How can I fix for this?

My third question: While Open From File, it reads directly from the file itself. But I want to specify myself which file it should read through the File bower. How can I arrange?
