I am developing an application where a listbox is loded at form load. This runs ok with a .txt file however if I try to load similar .doc files nothing appears in the list box. Any help with this isue would be much appreciated
A DOC file does not contain simple text. If you want to extract data from a Word document then you need to know how that data is stored in the file. For that you would normally use Word Automation, so Microsoft Word actually does it for you. If Word is not installed then that's not an option, so you will need some other component or you just can't really use Word documents.
