You question is best broken into a set of smaller problems.

How would you read lines from a text file?

How would you insert a string into a combo box?

Re: Reading From .txt files and displaying the info in a combobox

-----------------------------------

I got my program to read txt files and add them to my combo box earlier before ur post,
this is the code i used:

Private Sub Form_Load()
WebBrowser1.Navigate ("http://www.google.ca")
Open "h:/sites.txt" For Input As #1
numrecords = 1
While Not (EOF(1))
Line Input #1, nme(numrecords)
text1.AddItem nme(numrecords)
numrecords = numrecords + 1
Wend
Close #1
numrecords = numrecords - 1
End Sub

but right now im stuck because I want to be able to save info to the text file also, this is the code I have right now, its some coding my teacher taught me like 2 years ago. Cant get it to work though..


Private Sub cmdgo_Click()
WebBrowser1.Navigate (text1.Text)
Open "h:/sites.txt" For Output As #1
For i = 1 To numrecords
Print #1, nme(i)
Next
Close #1
End Sub

the nme is a global value same with the numrecords I put them in a module

 Global nme (20), numrecords

Well what does the data in the file look like when you save and open it in word?
