Can you..

load the contents of a .txt file into a normal text box? IE. NOT a rich text box. Just the normal one or does it have to a a rtb? If you can do it with a normal text box please reply with how.

You can load it into the text box, just not the formatting...

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim CurrentLine As String
Open App.Path & "\FILENAME.txt" For Input As #1
    Do Until EOF(1)
        Line Input #1, CurrentLine
        text1.Text = text1.Text & vbNewLine & CurrentLine
    Loop
Close #1
End Sub

make a text box (text1) and make sure it is mulitline.

Here's another method.

Open "Myfile" for Input As #1
Text1.Text = Input(LOF(1),1)
Close #1

Megatron's works as well, however, I think my way is better for experience, as it gives you the basic method of how to read a file and actually use it in various ways...

I use Megatron's method.

Well, the method he stated, I used it before he said it here....

Yeah....

Only one thing. I open for binary. It's faster.
