What about using the Internet Explorer control that comes with VB on your form and then pasting some HTML code into the control which has a reference to the file (on the empeg, or local hard disk or whatever).

Only problem with that is that the Windows Internet Explorer control doesn't like being resized while its got stuff in it to display.

I've used the Internet Explorer control in VB before to show a quick and dirty XML tree view - simply point the control at the XML file and you're done.
