Syntax:         Function HF_FileControl(FileName) as String

Parameters:     Filename - the name of the file you want displayed

Typical Usage:
-------------
A DOS application may produce a log file, or may have had its standard output piped to a file. This blindingly simple function would allow a report to include the log file or the results of the DOS command.

Example:
-------
Create a form or report, and place a large text box control on it. Set the Control Source property of the control to read:

=HF_FileControl("C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT")

Notes:
-------
The maximum file size which can be displayed is approximately 65,000 characters.



Best of luck with your developments!
