Welcome to VB Forums!

It would be easiest to do if your textboxes were part of a contro, array. What you would do would be to define a counter. Then use Line Input statement to read a line. each time you read the line move the input to a textbox(counter) and then increment the counter.

eg

Dim ff As Integer
    Dim strLine As String
    Dim lngIndex As Long
    
    ff = FreeFile
    
    Open "C:\temp\four lines.txt" For Input As ff
    
    Do Until EOF(ff)
        Line Input #ff, strLine
        Text1(lngIndex).Text = strLine
        lngIndex = lngIndex + 1
    Loop
