I am telling my program to attempt to load "file.txt" and im coming up with errors cause the file does not exist. Well i know that i havnt made it yet, but i wont it to check to see if its there. If i is not i wont to to display "File does not appear to exist" but if it is there then i wont it to load it and display it in richtextbox1. hope this kinda explains what im trying to do
