Option Explicit
Dim var as string 
Dim inputFile as string
Dim outputFile as string
Dim x as integer
 
Private Sub cmdReadfromFile_click()

Hi Embeza ,
In the following code you had sent,there is no value assigned to Inputfilevariable
And you have to use function Freefile before opening file
mean
Syntax of Reading Files is

x = freefile() Assigning the new file number which ever is exists

Open (filename with Path) for (Mode-Input/Output) as #Filenumber
While Not Eof(Filenumber)

Wend

Hi Embeza ,

Freefile should be used before opening of file
it is used to assign next existed filenumber

Syntax of Reading Files is

x = freefile()
Open (filename with Path) for (Mode-Input/Output) as #Filenumber

While Not Eof(Filenumber)
Line Input #Filenumber,StringVariable

Wend
Label1.caption = Stringvariable
Close #filenumber

In the above example take x as Filenumber as per your code
