If I am to understand you correctly, I think you are after something that uses the LINE INPUT syntax. (I have assumed your Text Box controls are part of a control array)

Code:
Dim iFreeFile as integer

Dim iControlArrayInstance as Integer


iFreeFile = FreeFile

iControlArrayInstance = 0


Open "C:\File.txt" For Input As #iFreeFile
    
Do While Not EOF(iFreeFile)

    'Read one whole line at a time
    Line Input #iFreeFile, sMyString

    'Place the text in the relevant TextBox (Control Array)
    txtMyTextBoxControlArray(iArrayInstance) = sMyString
    iArrayInstance = iArrayInstance + 1
Loop
    
Close #iFreeFile
The five lines from your txt file should now be in five different text box controls.
