I am replacing a FLASH routine thats used as an intro to an installer process with a VFP intro version. Comments are displayed to the user at different steps along the process. These comments are stored in TXT files that i read into a string and then assign to the webcontrol for display via the "Document.Write" command on a foxpro form.

lcFile = "overview" + ALLTRIM(STR(thisform.zPageIntro - 1))+".txt"
IF FILE("&lcFile")
   lcHTML = FILETOSTR(lcFile)
   lcHTML = STRTRAN(lcHTML,"FCIS","<FONT COLOR='BLUE'><B>FCIS</B></FONT>",1,20)
   WITH thisform.overview.oleWebControl
     .Navigate("about:blank")
     .Document.Open()
     .Document.Write(lcHtml)
     .Document.Close()
     .refresh()
   ENDWITH
   thisform.overview.Refresh()
ENDIF

The problem is that the refreshing of the text in the WebControl from the different text files is terrible. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. A page's text will show going forward, but going backward it wont. Very random.

I also have a reference to a JPG imbedded in the TXT file that wont show on the WebControl. I get the broken image symbol, but the jpg is located in the same folder. Is "FILE" syntax required here?
