>>I am trying to give the users an interface to view txt reports via the Rich Text Active X control and I currently have everything working exactly the way I want it except for one problem. The problem I'm having is when I try to load a large txt file (something around 20 to 28 megs) the application locks up or its just taking forever to load. Any ideas on how to remedy this problem or an alternative to using the rich text control?

I'm not sure, but I have doubts the chunk would work.
