Unless you want to edit the text, I would suggest doing this to a label.  The string will run of the end, while the label will act more like a text file, and print the text on the next line of the label when it reaches the end.

same as above except use

Label1.Caption = String


Hope this is of use

Dear aijohn,

th code for putting the entire content of the text file to the text box is:

Private sub GetFile(byval strFile as string)
   dim strContents
   
   on error goto ErrHandler
 
   Open strFile For Input As #1
        strContents = Input(LOF(1), #1)
   Close #1

   Text1.text = strcontents
   Exit sub

ErrHandler:
   msgbox "error occured"
End sub
