[RESOLVED] Open Statement using a variable

[MichaelWB]

I have 2 forms in this project.
I am opening a txt file using a common dialog function to select the file
and than storing that filename in a declared global variable as a string.

My problem comes when I open the second form
I need to be able to open the same file again to read the fields within.
The Open statement seems to only accept a filename and won't let me use the variable.

How can I open the file?

can you post the code ?

This works just fine

Dim myvar As String
    Dim mytext As String
    myvar = "c:\test2.txt"
    Open myvar For Input As #1
    While Not EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, mytext
        MsgBox mytext
    Wend
    Close #1

Oops.
Yet, another easy solution.
I moved the variable to a global as I stated
and then redid my Open Statement on the second form and it worked.
I was placing the Open Statement under General Declarations instead of Form Activate.
