I have text files that I want to display the contents of in a field on the account main screen. In the account table, I have a field that references the specific text file. How would I go about adding that to the account form. I've tried a browser windows but just get the path to show up.

thank,
dave

Use a Memo Control, and Load the File via Script.

It is not giving an error, but just shows blank. here is what I have

Const conForReading = 1

Dim objFSO, objReadFile, contents
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objReadFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("\\Slxdemo\Documents\PicsText\TEXT\New\36104.txt", 1, False)
contents = objReadFile.ReadAll
objReadFile.close
memo1.Text = contents
Set objFSO = Nothing
Set objReadFile = Nothing
