OK I posted this before, but got no response?? So I figured I would try again, this time with a little more detail.
The OLD Software I'm using stores the messages in a seperate folder on my system like this:
root/sitename/BOARDFOLDER/bb1/6007
The bb1 is just a folder name created by the software.
The 6007 is a txt file, but without any extensions (no .txt).
And the 6007 is numbered starting from the number 1 all the way to infinity!!! So in the bb1 folder it could have 6007,6008,6009, and so on.
OK when you open the 6007 file, it looks exactly like this:

<P>This is a cool shot of my new helicopter.
OK, now you know all the GUTS of the matter. IS there a way to use, or create a piece of software that will convert that to being able to be used by VB???
OR Can I pay someone $$$ TO create something for me????? TO DO THAT????
LET ME KNOW.
Yours,
