If you absolutely must use a grid control then I would read the file into an array and then use that array to supply the data for an unbound dbgrid control. You supply data to an unbound dbgrid by writing code for the UnboundReadData event of the dbgrid control. This is all rather complicated and may be more than what you require, but an example can be found and downloaded from the following site.

If you really don't need the functionality of the dbgrid or datagrid control, then you could make it real easy on yourself by simply using a listbox control. Just open the file and read each line into variables and use the listbox's AddItem method to fill the list box with the data you've read into the variables.

Good luck, Gerald M.
