there're multiple solutions to your problem. Each time you open the file, it reads/writes from the beginning... So if you don't close the file at the end of your procedure, it shoud not overwrite existing info. Another approach (need this is you open up the program again). Run a loop to read through entire file, this will place you at the of of it, so you can continue to add new information.
