Default Error in large file import macro

I am trying to use the macro that many people linked to here for importing
data longer than the 65536 rows permited in excel. Wen I run it, it loads
in the first line ok then errors out. It gives me a "Input past end of
file" error at Line Input #FileNum, ResultStr<. The full macro is as
follows:

Sub LargeFileImport()

Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g.
test.txt")
If FileName = "" Then End
FileNum = FreeFile()
Open FileName For Input As #FileNum
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.Add template:=xlWorksheet
Counter = 1
Do While Seek(FileNum) <= LOF(FileNum)
Application.StatusBar = "Importing Row " & _
Counter & " of text file " & FileName
Line Input #FileNum, ResultStr
If Left(ResultStr, 1) = "=" Then
ActiveCell.Value = "'" & ResultStr
Else
ActiveCell.Value = ResultStr
End If

If ActiveCell.Row = 65536 Then
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Add
Else
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
End If
Counter = Counter + 1
Loop
Close
Application.StatusBar = False

End Sub


Due to I am loading in data that 1s 16 columns by 200000+ rows I would like
to get this working.
