Philip,

If you want to read the text line by 
line you would use the Line Input Method.

Dim FileNumber as Integer
Dim MyString as String
FileNumber = FreeFile

Open "c:\test.txt" For Input As #FileNumber

Do Until EOF(FileNumber)
   Line Input #FileNumber, MyString
   'One line of data now contained in
   'MyString variable.  Process as necessary.
Loop
