Use Low Level fileio

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
strFile = "C:\xltext\myfile.txt"
hFile = FreeFile

Open strFile For Input As hFile

Do While Not EOF(hFile)
Line Input #hFile, strLine
sStr = sStr & strLine & Chr(10)
Loop
Close #hFile
UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = sStr
End Sub

file io

Of course, if your text file is large, you may only want to read in a
couple
of lines


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim strFile as String, hFile as long
Dim strLine as String, icnt as long
strFile = "C:\xltext\myfile.txt"
hFile = FreeFile

Open strFile For Input As hFile
icnt = 0
Do While icnt < 5
Line Input #hFile, strLine
sStr = sStr & strLine & Chr(10)
icnt = icnt + 1
Loop
Close #hFile
UserForm1.TextBox1.Text = sStr
End Sub

I'm not sure what you mean? How would I go about doing that? Any code
to get me started would be great.
