This article was previously published under Q143425 SYMPTOMS
When using the RichTextBox control and attempting to load a text file that
contains a blank line as the first line, or, assigning a file, which
contains a blank line as the first line, to the FileName property of the
RichTextBox control, you will receive an error (32002):
Cannot load binary data or files containing binary data
CAUSE
The RichTextBox control scans the file and examines the first 5 characters.
This error is generated if any of the first 5 characters have an ANSI value
less than 25 or greater than 250.
RESOLUTION
To workaround the problem, import the file into any text editor (MS-DOS
Edit, Notepad or WordPad) and add 5 blank spaces on the first line.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem has been corrected in
the Visual Basic version 4.0a for Windows synchronization release. This
problem has also been corrected in Visual Basic 5.0 and 6.0.
