Did you consider checking the properties of a file ?

No.I don't have idea. Here I am looking for the following if it is possible:

step1: Check the text file.
step2: if it is blank, gives message that it is blank
step3: if it is not blank, it has to display the data

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thanks

Here I am able to see the contents if text file is not blank and able to get the message as "The file is empty" if it is blank.
But not able to see all the contents if text file is big. How can I see all contents of text file?

Hello krish,

This macro should help. If the file isn't 0 bytes then the text file will be displayed in NotePad. Once NotePad is closed, the macro will resume. If there is no data, the message dialog is displayed.
