Displaying Files in a Text Box

[mgifford]

I am new to VB and having a hard time displaying a file in a text box. I have figured out the code to get the file to open but haven't been able to write the code so that a report will display in the text box instead of just the file name. Can anyone help?

an easy way is to use a RichTextBox

RichTextBox1.LoadFile pth

pth is a variable for Path and FileName

You can use the following code:

FileName$ = "c:\test.txt"
Open FileName$ For Input As #1
Text1.Text = Input(LOF(1), 1)
Close

Quick question, what is the LOF?

LOF = Length Of File

Ah, thanks. I guess if I would have thought a little harder I might have figured that one out. Ah well, what can I say, it's early Thursday morning and I'm still asleep. Honest, that's the reason :-)
