Open FileName For Input As FileNum

You're missing an "End With"

With oTextBox.OLEFormat.Object
.MultiLine = True
.WordWrap = True
.ScrollBars = fmScrollBarsVertical
.Text = strMessage
End With 'here

Also I think your code will add a new box for each line of the code so you
might want to use something like

While Not EOF(FileNum)
Input #FileNum, InputBuffer
strMessage = strMessage & InputBuffer
Wend
