Big window? I think you need to be slightly more specific. But hopefully this helps a bit:
iFile = FreeFile
Open sFile For Input As #iFile
x=0
Do until EOF(iFile)
Line Input #iFile, sData(x)
x = x +1
Loop
Close #iFile
Now you have the data in an array. You can display it however you like to in the big window, and when you want to rewrite the data, you do this:
iFile = FreeFile
Open sFile For Output As #iFile
x=0
Do Until x = UBound(sData)
Print #iFile, sData(x)
x = x + 1
Loop
Close #iFile
Any more questions, click the Visual Basic Button at the top and then go to Tutorials and Tips, then File & Directory perhaps. Good Luck-
