Opening an EXE File into a Textbox, Just like opening a text file???

[rino_2]

Hi,

I would like to open up an EXE file into a textbox using this code:

Open "C:\Ascii.exe" For Input As #1
text1.Text = Input(LOF(1), 1)
Close #1

When I try that I get a message "Bad file number or number". What does that mean.

Thanks
