I need to make a simple address list and save it in text format.
I want to know the best activex available for the purpose. If theres one that'd even handle the modifying / addition in the text file, that'd be really cool. The user shud be able to modify, add, delete records from within the activex...

Regards

Why is it an ActiveX?
You want to make a control to add/remove from a database? What format db? SQL, Access, Text file?
If it's web-based your going to have security issues writing to the local file, or sharing issues writing to a remote d/b.

Hi,
I need something like the msflexgrid, but it should also have a feature to get connected to a TEXT file based table... So if i change anything in the FLEXGRID, the flexgrid shud make the corresponding change in the Text file...
Simple...

You could always write one.  Although as far as being user-friendly, I've found that charts (grids/etc) aren't.  There's a few exceptions, like checkbook registries, accounting and the like.

But for addresses and all, it'd be more user friendly to write a simple program to display only one name at a time, and only the address when asked.

Although I don't know of any control that handles text files directly like what you want.  The existing ADO/DAO ones might be able to with tweaking -- but most times, if a text file is being used as a database, they just make it one.
