This is just a guess, but when you write to the file, you are appending to "NAMES.brn" and when you read, you are reading from "Names.brn". This might cause a problem, but I'm not positive (I know it would on a UNIX system, but on a Windows system, I'm not sure).
Also, if you append to the file, how does it know which name to use? Wouldn't you keep adding names to that file? You could probably use some VBS command to erase that file before you append to it, if that turns out to be the problem.
Mind you, I haven't tried to run the code yet, but those two things were the only ones that jumped right out at me....
