Give this a try.. It downloads a simple text file from my website and displays it in a label..

HI Dan,

".rev" is also a valid suffix for Livecode stacks!
If doubleclicking does not work, use the "Open..." dialog in menu "File" in Livecode 8-)


Best

cheers for that i use laptop and pc where as software is only installed on my laptop so didnt realise what it was. thanks for that it works a treat, is there a way you can do it on load so as soon as the app page loads the information is displayed immediately

Copy the code from the button in to the card script and change the "on mouseUp" and "end mouseUp" to "on openCard" and "end openCard"
