Yes John,
but Yim want to display the text file on screen and allow user
to search the inside contents and with

lcFileName = "Whatever.txt"
MODIFY FILE (lcFileName) NOEDIT &&& Sergey's solution

or with

m.file_to_show = [d:\mytext.txt]
oShell = CREATEOBJ('Shell.Application')
oShell.ShellExecute([notepad.exe],m.file_to_show)

the user can search simple with Ctrl+F.


>or read it FileToStr() and show it in an edit box..
