file ... Another option, depending on what you need, is the LoadFile command for a RichTextBox. Details in the help file, and RTBoxes have some nice features standard text doesn't.
Make sure to set the properties for the Right margin to some number greater than zero [the default] or, due to a bug, it won't do the scrollbars properly.

Set the Text Box multiline property to True and its ScrollBars property to 2 (vertical) and then use:
Open "c:\myfile.txt" For Input As 1 Text1.Text = Input(LOF(1), 1) Close 1
