   I want to link the content of an ASCII text file with a report control and vice versa. The report control is used in a GUI to visualize and manage the content of the text file (add new line, delete line, edit content of line.

The content of the text file looks like this:
Car;Speed;Weight
BMW;100;1600
Audi;120;1550

The report control should look like this:
Car   | Speed | Weight
----------------------------
BMW | 100     | 1600
----------------------------
Audi  | 120     | 1550

The GUI has for example 3 buttons to add / delete / edit a record. After changing a record, the text file should be updated accordingly.

Any suggestions how to implement this (vb code please)?

Thanks

	Hi, Sounds like you're wanting someone to do your homework for you here... lol The Samples provided by Codejock show how to implement a ReportControl and how to add rows of data to it. As for loading the textfiles, do a google search as it's not that hard at all.
