#simple thing. But it does not the program goes straight into

#It should be as followed start python <program> see code put window
#on screen wait until start button is pressed then excute def
#read(file) funtion and wil this is running you should be able 2 quit
#at any time you decide by pressing the quit button!!!!
#By the way the programm's main function is 2 read in the access file
#and should try 2 read past EOF so you get a realtime vieuw af wat is

Please post your code without linebreaks

                self.start = Button(self, text='Start', foreground='blue',
                                   command=lambda self=self:self.read(file))
                                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What you dis is to use the RESULT of reading the file as a command for the
Button, rather than the code to read the file.

With regard to reading ``past'' EOF, I think you must reposition the file
or maybe even reopen it, after a sleep period.
