How exactly did you set/associate your exe to txt/rtf files? Maybe that was not done correctly? And what doesn't load? The application? Or does the app load, but the document doesn't display in it?

I made the exe using vb then i right clicked a txt file i located on my desktop and click open with... browse then my exe. The program opens perfectly but doesnt load the txt file i just tried to open

In your Form_Load event process a VB variabled named Command$. That variable if not a null string (i.e., <> "") will be the file that was sent. Therefore, the code should look something like:

Private Sub Form_Load()
   .... 
   If Command$<>vbNullString Then 
      ' load Command$ into your editor.  Command$ is full path & filename
   Else 
      ' user opened your app directly without any associated file
   End If
