Unless the file is humongous (several tens of megabytes big), this method using standard VB statements will work fine also...

Dim FileNum As Long
Dim TotalFile As String
Dim IndividualLines() As String
FileNum = FreeFile
Open "c:\SomeDircectory\YourFile.txt" For Binary As #FileNum
TotalFile = Space(LOF(FileNum))
Get #FileNum, , TotalFile
Close #FileNum
IndividualLines = Split(TotalFile, vbLf)

where you can now loop through the IndividualLines array in order to perform whatever action you need to on the lines in the file one at a time.
