Greetings:

        I need to read the contents of a text file into a list box.
The file contains names, one per line.
        I have a text box that a user enters a new name into and this in turn
will add the name to the list in the list box via a command button.
        I can easily load the file contents into a text box, but then I
am unable to allow additional names to be entered.  On the other hand,
if I use a list box, I can update names into the box but the file
contents will not load into the list box, it is initially blank.
        Perhaps I am unaware of the proper coding to allow both of these
to work together.  I would very much appreciate any help that can be
offered.  Thanks,          Sean.

f=freefile
Open "Filename.txt" for input as #f
Do while not eof(f)
        Line Input #f, strPersonName
        List1.AddItem strPersonName    
Loop
Close f

I'm assuming here that you are reading from a text file.
