Awesome Jordan. I've only used vb6 and .net until now. Within minutes I was able to convert this to a windows forms application instead of console and am quickly on my way in C#.

THANKS!

If anyone else was wondering, here is what Jordan did using a windows forms app and bringing up the results of a file in a messagebox.

        private void btnEngrave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //assign the filename
            string fileName = "c:\\engraving.txt"; 
            
            //create reader and open the file
            TextReader textReader = new StreamReader(fileName);

            // Read text to end of file
            MessageBox.Show(textReader.ReadToEnd());

            textReader.Close();
        }
