ASPRunnerPro General questions

I have created an asp list web page with ASPRunner Pro that allows a user to request information from an Access Database, the results of this request are then displayed on a second asp web page and shows about six different pieces of information from the database, finally the user can then select to view the individual results of the request on a third asp page, this page shows the data from the search results plus further data some of which are images, these images are stored as a file path on the database, the final piece of information I want to show on this page is some text, I want to be able to do the same as I have done with the images and call this text from a .txt file using a file path.
For instance, a user can select all the registered names beginning with the letter 'A', the result of this request will be shown on page2.asp, the user can then select one of the names and the results of that request will be shown on page3.asp with details from a .txt file.
The reason I want to call a .txt file instead of setting up a memo field on my database is because there is a large amount of text and there could be up to 100 different text entries, I have created a link in my database that goes to a text file, I need to know how to set ASPRunner Pro to call this .txt file just like it can call an image.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
set View as/ Edit astype on the Formattingtab in ASPRunner for this text field as Document download/ Document upload.

You can use this format if you like to download files from folder.

Filename on the List page will be made clickable automatically
