How to populate listbox with data from access and text file

Hi all. Could any one show me how i can populate a listbox with data from ms access db and text file.Thanks

Try this:

VB Code:

Private Sub commandLoad_click()
Dim sText As String
    Dim X As Integer
    X = FreeFile
    On Error Resume Next
    Open App.Path & "/textfilename.txt" For Input As #X
    While Not EOF(X)
        Input #X, sText$
            List1.AddItem sText$ ' adds in to listbox1
            DoEvents
    Wend
    Close #X
 
End Sub

Thank u for u reply. It does not work. all i see the scroller moving for ever and no data is shown in listbox!!

It happens when the file does not contain any data. The should be a data in a etxt file like this:
254
ngng
fbhfbn
fbbf
fb
b356.

Try It.

well my file has data line by line and i tried u data too and it did not work!! Do i need any refrences or components or change in listbox property? i place the text file in c:\ do i need to put c:\ in the path too ?
