Default Start reading text file at line 3

Hi Billy
The SkipLine method from the fileSystemObject is one way:
strFile = Application.GetOpenFilename
strFileToRead = fs.OpenTextFile(strFile,ForReading)
For i = 1 to 2
strFileToRead.SkipLine
Next i
strFileToRead.ReadLine

....

I have the following code and it works as is but I would like the code to
start reading at line three of the text file. Is that possible and if so,
how?

Public Sub GetIt()
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim r As Integer

Set ImpRng = ActiveCell

strFile = Application.GetOpenFilename
strFile = fs.GetFileName(strFile)

Open strFile For Input As #1
r = 0

Do While Not EOF(1) 'Want to start at line three of text file
Line Input #1, data
ActiveCell.Offset(r, 0) = LTrim(data)
r = r + 1
Loop
Close #1

End Sub
