Hey I haven't used VB in awhile so I'm a little rusty. Is there some type of Read and Data command for VB? I'm trying to convert an old QB program to VB and it has the Read/Data command. Data 10, 12, 14 Read x Basically, I need a line of numbers I can read for input with a command in the VB program. I don't want to use a text file just because I don't want people to see the numbers. Thanks a lot.

There is no equivelant to the Read and Data comands in VB. Thats was DOS basic only. However what VB does have the DOS Basic didn't have are more flexible Array functions. Put the numbers in and array and read them with a For/next loop. Dim MyArray(10) as integer MyArray(0) = 34 Myarray(1) = 23 MyArray(2) = 56 and so on Then read them with a loop. For a = 0 to 10 Print MyArray(a) Next Stuart

I'll just use that. It's a little bit of extra work but in the end it will have the same function. I was hoping for just a quick command so I didn't have to change it all. Thanks.
