Hey,

I have been trying to open a text document in a VI, but I can get it! How do you load a text document into a table or something? Not into a string though.

To Pravin: A Word document and a web page are considerably different, so to display them you typicall need two different mechanisms, but you can use a web browser to "cheat" with the Word document. Note: Assuming Windows as the OS for remainder of discussion. To display a web page you can use the Internet Explorer ActiveX control, as shown in this example. To display a Word document you can still use the web browser and use the same "Navigate" method to load the Word file via the "file:\\" URL.

To Submeg: That is a completely different topic. Please start a new discussion.

Sorry about that - screwed up when entering the link. This is the example I was referring to. For an example using Word, you can take a look at this.
