    Use a Textbox.. set the MultiLine and ScrollBars properties as apt.

    VB Code:
    1. Open "c:\test.txt" For Input As #1

    2.     Text1.Text = Input(LOF(1), 1)

    3. Close #1
    Use [CODE] tags and rate useful posts

    VB: MSDN VBnet DevX vbAccelerator
    DB: W3Schools SQL TechOnTheNet's Oracle/PLSQL ConnectionStrings
    Misc (IT): Use XP look (manifest) in your apps (sample) MZ-Tools (free and cool VB add-in) Deploy your apps with Inno Setup
    Misc: Zeitgeist Movie

    ... so make the best of this test and don't ask why, it's not a question, but a lesson learned in time...
