...maybe the data is saved in a file on a server, or something like that...

Well... you'll have to know with what are you dealing. I mean, where is the file located, does it need to be parsed...?

[ziad_jabbour]

i think the data is saved in a text file, this file is located in a website

[gavio]

You can use the Inet (MS Internet Transfer Control) for example:

Dim source As String
    source = Inet1.OpenURL "http://www.somesite.com/somefile.txt"

10x anyway, but should i add any components, or simply like that, and should i open a text file as i am oppening a file from my pc, and what if my text file contains many line ???

[gavio]

Yes. Go to menu Project>>Components and search for MS Internet Transfer Control. Emm... i don't understand what has your multi line file got to do with this?
