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?

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:

code:

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..

code:

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

code:

Global nme (20), numrecords

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