I suppose it depends on the type of file, where you get it from, how and where you want to display it. Try searching on google.com, or give us more information on what you are trying to do. |

Yes, if you give us more information, then we can help you some. I'm pretty proficient at Visual Basic... Are you trying to save settings? Or data? And if data, what kind? And are you wanting to just simply output some information, or print out some nice reports, or print out information from a database, etc. -Ascent |

I don't know of any way to edit/save .doc files without having word installed in the system. Another option is to look into RichTextBox object to control .rtf, because it can also store the formatting of the document. Here is a link on how to open/save .txt files using a list box as a medium. Otherwise you can look at manipulating the text file using sequential access, ie. reading line by line with the FileSystemObject method. Some information on printing: Hope this helps, and please feel free to comment or suggest more efficient methods. |
