You would be better off using VBAs native file handling to open and read a
text file vs the FileSystemObject.

The FileSystemObject is a part of Windows Scripting and may not be
accessible on all computers due to Security Settings notwithstanding most
developers eschew its' use because of the several variations (versions) of
the Scripting Runtime that may not be 100% compatible with your code,
whereas VBA will always work.

I have used the FileSystem Object, but only in the Scripting environment.

The application is designed to be shared with many users and I want each
user has his own default content. That's why I cannot use table. I'll
check out File System Object.

Why not use a table instead of a text file? Access is designed to use
tables.
To use a text file you need to reference the File System Object. Google
it to
find out the details of using it.
Since the control is unbound you can read the data in the Current event
based on the primary key of your table record.
