Thank you for this suggestion. I never knew it existed. Looking it up in the MSDN shows that it has a rather complex API. I decided to follow Carlos' suggestion and add a multiline Cedit control (read only) to the bottom of my dialogue and read the file in and display it there. It works very well. But thank you for letting me know about this function. If I need to use it, I will ask again and the API. Thanks. Andrew This email and any attached files are confidential and copyright protected.
