Write Array to txt.file (macro)

Hi,

I am having problems getting my array to write to a txt.file correctly.
What it does currently, is display the results in a msgbox so we can see it straight away, and writes only some of the data that appeared in that msgbox into the txt.file.
I tried using 'Append' which does display all the data, but of course, it only adds the data to the txt.file rather than replacing what is already in there.
'Output' I think is the only way of getting it to write all the data into the txt.file, and then also replace it each time.

Sadly, I cannot get it to work with 'output'. It currently only writes the last line of data that was in the array.
I assume I need some kind of loop, but I cannot figure out a way to get it to work successfully.

My code is below. Any help would be appreciated.

Code:
Private Function Expired(ByRef msg As String, ByRef var1 As Variant, ByRef var2 As Variant, ByRef var3 As Variant) As String
Dim sFilePath As String
Dim FileNumber


If Len(msg) = 0 Then msg = "Persons with EXPIRED Safeguading Certificates:@NL@NL"
    Expired = msg & "@var1 @var2 (@var3)@NL"
    Expired = Replace(Expired, "@var1", var1)
    Expired = Replace(Expired, "@var2", var2)
    Expired = Replace(Expired, "@var3", var3)


sFilePath = "R:\HR and Admin\Expired.txt"
FileNumber = FreeFile
If (VBA.Len(VBA.Dir(sFilePath))) = 0 Then MsgBox "File Does not exists": End
Open sFilePath For Output As [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=FileNumber]#FileNumber[/URL] 
Print [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=FileNumber]#FileNumber[/URL] , var1, var2, var3


Close [URL=https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=FileNumber]#FileNumber[/URL]
