Hi all can some assist me with a problem. I wish to display the contents of
a txt file in a text box

i have tried the following:

CommonDialog1.Filter = "c:\test.rtf"
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
RichTextBox1.LoadFile CommonDialog1.filename, rtfRTF

(no luck with above, keeps highlighting the .loadfile bit on the last line.
got the source code from a friend who could not make it work either hence
why this one is an rtf and not txt)

text1.Loadfile ("c:\test.txt")

i am totally lost here

thanx ppls
