Say you have a textfile that is really long and you want to add a scroll-bar to it. How woyld you make that scroll bar scroll down the text box?

at design time set the textbox properies of Multilne = true
and scrollbars = both or vertical or horizontal..

also I wanted to know how I would be able to make a box come up so that you can save that text to a file.

this wont make the message box popup, you will either have to use the common dialog API(using cmdlg32.dll) or the common dialog OCX....

Code:

Dim FF As Integer
FF = FreeFile
Open "C:\folder\myfolder\NewFile.txt" For Output As FF
Print #FF, Text1.Text
Close FF

that code should work fine, I have never really had to use common dialog, so I dont really know how. Sorry.
