Exactly! It works fine if the objects are written to the file *before* >the output stream is flushed and closed. But I wouldn't come to the conclusion the objects cannot be ammended to the file. Becuase if you run the code and take a look at the file which is created which is x.dat in NotePad you can see the content of the second object too....

test y = new test("Luxman",10);

Basically you should be able to locate the word "Luxman" in the file. Lot of people have asked this question almost in all the news groups and forams. But still no clear answer provided why it doesn't work or why it will not work?

Hope I can find a answer here:-)
