I would like to say thank you to everyone who responded to my recent posts. I have found what the problem was. It appears that the file was corrupt. It would look correct in Word but I cut and pasted the text into a new word doc and now it works like a champ.

My question for today is this. I want to add 15 small RTF files to a richtextbox. basically concatination one after another. When I use the loadfile method I loose the files loaded before it. How does one add several files together to make a complete document?
Thank you for your time and have a good day
