Blockread : displaying fields 1

[Guthro]

This is a bit of a noobie question but here goes.
I want to use Blockread to find a file and then display its contents. Using the D5 example, it uses an OpenDialog and the SaveDialog. Fine, but how do I display fields from with the file. The output can be a memo, Grid or whatever.
It's been ages since I used Delphi so be gentle

Thanks.

1) This is the wrong forum for Delphi questions. You want

2) OpenDialog and SaveDialog are for selecting files and not reading them.

3) You are right with the blockread. You would display something by blockreading the proper record and then assigning the value to a control display attribute (memo, label, textbox, etc).
