these are some examples how you can load a file:
1) IF you want to select a file:

Private Function Open_File()
Dim STRTEMP As String
   TextBox.Text = ""
   On Error GoTo Cancel_Function
   With CommonDialog
      .CancelError = True
      .Filter = "Text (.txt)|*.txt"
      .InitDir = Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "\My Documents"
      .DialogTitle = "Open a file..."
      .ShowOpen
      On Error GoTo Error_Open_File
      Open .FileName For Input As #1
         Do Until EOF(1)
            Input #1, STRTEMP
            TextBox.Text = TextBox.Text & STRTEMP
         Loop
      Close #1
      Caption = Left(Caption, 26) & ": " & .FileName
   End With
   CMDunix2dos.Enabled = True
   TEXTCHANGED = False
   CMDsave.Enabled = True
   CMDsaveAs.Enabled = True
   MnuFile(2).Enabled = True
   MnuFile(3).Enabled = True
Exit Function
Error_Open_File:
   Close #1
   MsgBox "There is an error opening the file"
Exit Function
Cancel_Function:
End Function

2) directly:

Dim FF As Long
Dim TotalFile As String
    CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
     FF = FreeFile
    Open CommonDialog1.FileName For Binary As #FF
    '  Allocate a buffer equal in size to the file
    '  (see LOF function) so that the Get statement
    '  can stuff text from the file into it.
    TotalFile = Space(LOF(FF))
    Get #FF, , TotalFile
    Close #FF
    Text1.Text = TotalFile

3) If the file is always on the same place

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim FileIn As Integer
   FileIn = FreeFile
   On Error GoTo Error_Laden
   Open App.Path & "\document.txt" For Input As #FileIn
      Do While Not EOF(FileIn)
         Input #FileIn, inputdata
         TEXTBLOCK = TEXTBLOCK & inputdata & vbCrLf
      Loop
   Close #FileIn
      Text2.Text = TEXTBLOCK
Exit Sub
Error_Laden:
   Close #FileIn
   MsgBox ("Error loading !")
End Sub

Or binary

Private Sub Command1_Click()
   Dim Fle$, L&, Channel%, S$

   Fle$ = "c:\t\test.txt"
   L = FileLen(Fle$)

   S$ = Space$(L)

   Channel = FreeFile
   Open Fle$ For Binary Access Read As #Channel
   Get #Channel, 1, S$
   Close #Channel

End Sub

Can you be more specific about what you want to do with the file? For example, do you simply want to copy the contents of the file into a text box?
