First was about to confirm what you said as when I tried your
code got the message 'Unable to open'.

Now I have no problems with the following code.
The Memo is always filled with the contents of the file.

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
    AnsiString FileIn = "\\\\620ct\\c\\example.txt";

    if(FileExists(FileIn))
       {
       int iFileHandle = FileOpen(FileIn, fmOpenRead);

       if ( iFileHandle <= 0 )
          ShowMessage("Unable to open:\n\n"+ FileIn);
       else
          FileClose(iFileHandle);

       Memo1->Lines->LoadFromFile ( FileIn );
       }
    else
      ShowMessage("File does not exist:\n\n"+ FileIn);


What you could try:

Omit the FileExists() and just do a
        int iFileHandle = FileOpen(FileIn, fmOpenRead);
or a
	Memo1->Lines->LoadFromFile ( FileIn );

Sorry, don't know.
