Hey guys the problem has been solved

Solution for this who wish to know

// TODO: Add your control notification handler code here
	this->UpdateData();

	CFile f;

	char strFilter[] = { "txt Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*||" };

	CFileDialog FileDlg(TRUE, ".txt", NULL, 0, strFilter);

	if( FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
	{
		f.Open(FileDlg.GetFileName(), CFile::modeRead);
			
		CArchive ar(&f, CArchive::load);

		CString movieNo;
	
		ar >> movieNo;	
		
		movieNoEditBox.SetWindowText(movieNo);
		ar.Close();
	}
	else
		return;

	f.Close();
	this->UpdateData(FALSE);

The reason why this code didnt work before was the txt file was not ARCHIVED.

I had created the file myself in the folder (wrong)

i had the complier create the file in the folder and when i loaded the file it open with no problems

no more ACCESS DENIED or unamed file had reached end of file

Hope this Helps
