Is it possible to modify a txt file by writing in it the information filled in an applet form? If not is there another way by using java to do this operation?
Thanks

To do what? Writing to a file with a Java application is, of course, trivial. An applet can only write a file to the url from which it is running, unless special security settings have been made for it. What exactly are you trying to do?

I am trying to store the information filled in a form in a txt file, using java. The applet and the txt file would be on the same machine.

Ah ha. Just as I suspected. It doesn't need to be an applet at all, it can be an application. You can easily make your applet run as an application; search this forum for "applet" and "application" keywords and you will find several hits, or just go to this thread:
