Hi
I am attaching a sample program which initially loads all the file name into a List Box and then when you click on each item in the List Box it opens up the specified text file and display it in a Label.
Sample code is shown below. Attachment has the complete program.

Ok I have got it so you click on one and the file.txt opens...but I want it now so you click on the next object in the listbox and it gets rid of file.txt and opens up file2.txt in the label
and another thing...
It will only add one line in the .txt file...say the file looks like this
Testing
Hello This Is A Test
This Should Work
It will only put "This Should Work" down no matter what I do, unless I delete it and move "Hello This Is A Test" down a few lines
and another thing...

Change all the file path to C:\sample\sample\ . It was previously written C:\sample .
It should work now.

Yeah that will fix your sample problem, but my problem is, I need it so you click on the next object in the listbox and it gets rid of the file.txt and puts in file1.txt in the listbox and so on...and also with the .txt files it is only puting 1 line in the label

Hi
This will solve the muti line display problem in the label. Still I couldn't get a correct picture of what you are loading in the list box when the form is loaded and what it should do when you click on an item in the list box, basically the relationship between the listbox and the items in the list box.

Ok thanks that got one problem solved...now..
What that does is, you click on any of the items in the list which I have 15 items in my listbox...it makes the list.txt file appear in the label all fine...what I want is the list.txt file to appear in the label when you click on the 1st item in the list box, but when you click on the 2nd item the list.txt is replaced with list1.txt in the label and so on...hope that clears it up with this

Hi
I hope I understood the problem. So you have text files like File1, File2, File3, File4 and in the List box say you have A,B,C,D,E. Now when you click on A, File1 should show up in the label and for B it should show up File2...and so on. I guess this is what the problem is...
Check out the attachement.

ok, that is basically doing the same thing, I click on say "A" then it opens up file1.txt I click on "B" then file1.txt is still open. I want file1.txt to go away and file2.txt to replace it in the label when "B" is clicked on ect.
