I have code I'm borrowing from others on this forum and am trying to use it to read a very large and messy spool file a line at a time so I can parse out information I need for accounting.

My code errors out in the Dim statements. Here's the code I'm trying to construct:

Private Sub ReadTextFile_Click()
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim STREAM As TextStream
Dim CurLine As String
Dim arrValues() As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblTextFileImport", dbOpenDynaset)

Set fso = New FileSystemObject

'OPEN THE TEXT FILE
Set STREAM = fso_OpenTextFile("F:\scanfile.txt")

'LOOP THRU THE TEXT FILE ONE LINE AT A TIME
While Not STREAM.AtEndOfStream

'READ THE LINE
CurLine = STREAM.ReadLine


Wend
etc ----- I'm going to gather parts of the line and combine it with data on the next line to make a record.

You either need a reference to the Microsoft Scripting Runtime, or Dim fso as Object.
