[/quote] Easy. 1. Make a button. 2. Add code to the button to open a text file and read the contents. 3. While reading the contents, search for the specific text. 4. I dont understand the "matches it with everything in text1" part. 5. If it all matches, show a msgbox. Hope this helps. | December 18, 2003, 11:27 PM |
