Answer 1

Here’s an example of how to open a text file and copy a field into a field on your form

Dim MyStr1 as string
dim MyStr2 as string

Open "TESTFILE" For Input As #1
Do While Not EOF(1)    ' Loop until end of file.
    Input #1, MyStr1, MyStr2
    me.txtStr1 = MyStr1
    me.txtStr2 = MyStr2
Loop
Close #1    ' Close file.

(the example loops through multiple rows, but you could equally well unroll the loop and do each row individually, as you might want to do – depending on how your text file is organised)
