dim strfilename as string 
With OpenFileDialog1
			.Filter = "RICHTEXT FILES (*.rtf) |*.rtf"
			.FilterIndex = 1
			.InitialDirectory = "c:\"
			.Title = "OPEN FILE"
			.FileName = ""
		End With
		If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
			STRFILENAME = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
			Dim OBJREADER As StreamReader = New StreamReader(STRFILENAME)
			richTextBox1.Text = OBJREADER.ReadLine
