I'm not sure about 'without opening the file'. Kinda like eating a
can of pineapple without opening the can.

But I digress. How about this?

Sub InsertIntoTextbox()
'David Sisson 2007

Dim rRange As Range

Set rRange = ActiveDocument.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange

rRange.InsertFile FileName:="sample RTF.rtf", Range:="", _
ConfirmConversions:=False, Link:=False, Attachment:=False

rRange.Select
Selection.ClearFormatting

End Sub

I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear,
i would like to read the content of a rtf file into a textbox control
on my userform.

I couldn't find a way. Not without opening the file first

Sorry.
