Visual Basic :: Put Content Of Listbox In A Text File

Displaying Text File Content In A Datagrid Then Open That Text File...
I have a form named frmTest and contains a datagrid called dgData and two buttons. One is button 'Read text file' and the other one is 'open text file'. I also have a class module named CReadFile. and a textfile named test.txt

The code for button Read text file is:

Code:
Private Sub cmdReadTXT_Click()
Dim obj As CReadFile
Set obj = New CReadFile

Set dgData.DataSource = obj.Read_Text_File
Set obj = Nothing
End Sub
and the code for the open text file button is:

Code:
Open "test.txt" For Input As 1
MsgBox "file opened."
Close
The code inside the class module is:

Code:
Option Explicit

Public Function Read_Text_File() As ADODB.Recordset
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
conn.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt; *.csv)};" & _
"DBQ=" & App.Path & ";", "", ""

rs.Open "select * from [test#txt]", conn, adOpenStatic, _
adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
Set Read_Text_File = rs
Set rs = Nothing
Set conn = Nothing
End Function
_____________

This is what happens, if you click the button 'Read text file', the contents of the text file will be displayed in the data grid. After clicking the button 'Read text file', I now want to click the button 'Open text file' to open the text file, but an error appears saying: Run time error '70': Permission Denied.
Why is that so? What should I do to solve this problem? I need to open that file again for validation after displaying the contents.

Thank you.

- here's the question:
Is it possible to read that uncommon content of the text file to retain or convert it back to it's original form ( in this case to .zip file)

Importing Text File Into Listbox &",&" Makes New Line In Listbox?
Hi Everyone,

I am importing a text file into a list box. The below content of the text file looks like this:

Quote:

UTAODELT1 CS, I4
UTAODELT2 BDC, HoPQ
UTAODELT3 vDC, HoPQ
UTAODELT4

Once it is imported into the listbox, it looks something like this:

Quote:

UTAODELT1 CS

UTAODELT2 BDC
oPQ
UTAODELT3 vDC
oPQ
UTAODELT4

Below is the code I am using to import the data from the text file into a listbox:

VB Code:
Dim sTemp As String Open "C:input.txt" For Input As 1 Do While Not EOF(1) Input #1, sTemp List1.AddItem sTemp Loop Close #1

My question is, how do I input the data into the listbox so that it will be in the same format as the text file?

VB for some reason is dropping to the next line when it hits a ",". How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help!!

Loading A Text File Into A Listbox.

What I need to do is when I click "Load"(Command Button) It bring up an open file dialog(no idea how to right now) and when the .txt file of my choice is selected, load it into the LISTBOX.

Since I was asking about it right now, I figured I'd ask about a combo box too, I assume it would load the same way.

Thanks in advance!!

ff = FreeFile

".ListCount" in " For i = 0 To lbo.ListCount - 1" gets highlighted saying "Method or Data Member not found". Anyone know what to do?

Look For Text File And Populate Listbox
I have a listbox called 'LstSelected'. I also have a command button that will prompt the user for a reference number and save the contents of LstSelected to [reference number].txt
The file is saved into a folder called 'Saved Lists'
What I would like to be able to do now is to place a button on the form that will give the user the opportunity to browse the folder 'Saved Lists', select a file and populate LstSelected from the selected text file.
1st - Does this make sense
2nd - could you please give me the code to do this

I'm a bit of a beginner to vb so I need the 'Dummies Guide to VB' approach

Many thanks in advance
