Tkx,

{
Open "filename" for input as #1
input #1, variable
}
each time you run the input command it reads a new line so you can loop it until EOF to read the whole file

A more saver way is to use Line Input #1,variable

Like
Dim strLine As String
Open "filename" For Input as 1
While Not Eof(1)
Line Input#1, strLine
Wend

A faster way (if you are interested in reading more than the first line) is to read the entire file in one operation and place it in an array....
[tt]
Fname$ = "MyFile.txt"
ff = FreeFile
Open Fname$ For Binary As #ff
Raw$ = String$(LOF(ff), 32)
Get #ff, 1, Raw$
Close #ff
Txt$ = Split(Raw$, vbCrLf)
[/tt]
....later, you would reference the contents of the first line with Txt$(0), the second line with Txt$(1), etc.
