How to display the content of the file while clicking the button

Data's are stored in the text file, ex 1.txt when am clicking the command buttion, 1.txt file will open and 1.txt data's should display

Answer 1

Add a textbox to a form, make it multiline=true, add a button to the form. And in the buttons click handler add this:

Private Sub Button1_Click()
  Dim iFile As Long
  Dim strFilename As String
  Dim strTheData as String

  strFilename = "C:1.txt"

  iFile = FreeFile

  Open strFilename For Input As #iFile
   strTheData = StrConv(InputB(LOF(iFile), iFile), vbUnicode)
  Close #iFile
  text1.text=strThedata
End Sub

This will read the text in the file and add it to the textbox.

Edit: Changed the line that reading the content to be more robust as pointed out by MarkJ in this answer (Cred goes to to MarkJ to pointing out that.)
