I am openning a .text file into a text box and display on the form.

Just before displaying it on the form I need to search for a date and
replace it.  Any sugestions ?

This is a part of my code

Open gs_PanPath & "PANRPT.TXT" For Input As mn_RptFile
TextReport.Text = Input$(LOF(mn_RptFile), mn_RptFile)    'Read report
into text box
Close mn_RptFile

Thanks

x = Instr(TextReport, "DATE")
textreport.selstart = x
textreport.sellen = len("DATE")
textreport.seltext  = "REPLACESTRING"

Hey! My inglis is berfekt, isnt it?

Consider reading the file into a string variable, replacing the date in the
variable, then assigning the variable to the textbox's text property.
Please see the Replace() function if using VB6.
