Is this what you mean?
You can perform a server side include of your text file with this syntax
<!--#include file="includes/fileName.txt" -->
The file can contain HTML for formatting if you wish.
If you have a choice (you arent using asp to view server error logs or something), rather than using a txt file on the server you should put the info in a db.

I'll give both mehtods a try.
1. Does the #include function actually display text to the screen automatically or should I put some other tags round it, or tags in the .txt document? And how do I alter the permissions?
2. A large DB field with the text in sounds like a quick simple fix, are there any problems with doing it this way?

if you don't already know sql, then the simplest thing to do is use the include,
and no you don't need any other tags,
unless you want to format whatever text is in the txt file..
the put the tags right into the txt file.
