the text box to overwrite the data automatically as new data is recieved, I just get one big long string of continous data. Any suggestions?

I suggest when you have a programming question, you need to post your code, so we can tell you what is wrong. In this case, it's easy. the textbox has a Text property. If you add to it with +=, you append the string, if you set it with =, you replace the string. Just set the text to just the data you want to show.
