Use a Variable Memo Control to do this, set to read-only if you don't want the user to edit the contents. You would get the contents into the variable with a statement like SET VAR vMemoContents = ['Filename.TXT'].
If the text files are row-oriented (eg, a log file or something) you can also use a Variable List Box. You would load it with a PROPERTY command (I don't remember the specifics, but I'm sure you can find it if you search the list). Either one will allow you to integrate the info in the text file very nicely with a database record the file corresponds to. -- Larry ________________________________ From: Michael J.
