Loading data from a file to text boxs

[mike_w]

Sorry for the begginers question but i am trying to learn vb and have just got stuck

I need to load data from a file to 6 text boxs.

This is the code i have to save the data:

Open "c:\program files\Mikesprogs\MikesLotteryChecker\" & Frame2.Caption & ".ini" For Output As hFile
        Print #hFile, Frame2.Caption
        Print #hFile, Text6.Text
        Print #hFile, Text5.Text
        Print #hFile, Text4.Text
        Print #hFile, Text3.Text
        Print #hFile, Text2.Text
        Print #hFile, Text1.Text
Text1.Text
    Close hFile

the output looks like:

test
1
2
3
4
5
6


But i need to load this data in to the 6 text box's when the program loads and when the load button is clicked but i cant figure out what code to use!

If anyone can help i would be very grateful

Thank you

Mike

Just do the opposite of what you're doing to write the file. ;-)

Dim hFile As Integer
Dim sText As String

hFile = FreeFile
Open "d:\path\filename.ini" For Input As hFile
Input #hFile, sText ' Frame2.Caption
Input #hFile, sText
Text6.Text = sText
Input #hFile, sText
Text5.Text = sText
Input #hFile, sText
Text4.Text = sText
Input #hFile, sText
Text3.Text = sText
Input #hFile, sText
Text2.Text = sText
Input #hFile, sText
Text1.Text = sText
Close hFile
