From what I understand, you want to take the file name provided in the textbox by the user and open the file without using the commondialog.

Well you can directly open the file using the open command

Dim variable1 As String
Open Text1.text For Input As #1
Input #1, variable1 

But in this case you have to ask user to provide the complete file path. Or you can just keep all the related files that need to be opened within the project folder and say something like:

Dim variable1 As String
dim variable2 as string
variable2=App.Path & Text1.text
Open variable2 For Input As #1
Input #1, variable1

Hope this help you.
