ok, i will leave the LOF file in the program but we wont use it in this example.

Code:
Dim strLine As String
Open "C:\Score.txt" For Input As #1
Line Input #1, strLine ' read one line at a time vs entire file
lblX.Caption = strLine
Line Input #1, strLine
lblO.Caption = strLine
Close #1
however this doesnt seem to be working
it says "input past end of file"
