EDIT: I almost forgot, this is for Visual Basic 6.0

I was doing a project for my uncle, a multiple timer(5 timers in one program). He wants it to be able to save everything, minutes, hours, seconds, and all text boxes. I can do that. However i'm not sure how to load it back into all the variables and text boxes.

This is my code so far. The part I can't figure out is in the box

Private Sub load_Click()

End Sub

I have tried many things. I've tried to Do while through the text file, I can't seem to get anything to input. I don't really know visual basic. I only know what I have learned back in 2001, and what I can look up on the internet.

Thanks

i think this prgram should write in array to handle everything Easily

[jahgro]

well that doesn't really help me with my problem.

[thava]

i know that
Read the File Handling in Visual Basic 6 Part 1 - Sequential Files Tutorial.

[jahgro]

thank you very much

[sam_benne]

Why don't you on close program or a button save all the data in the text boxes to corresponding text files and on formload () open the text files and put all data back and allow the program to carry on. also there are tutorials on opeing multi line text files in the tutorial section of this site.
