Importing a large text file (65536)
 

Jayl,
Try changing

Do While Seek(FileNum) <= LOF(FileNum)
' to
Do While Not EOF(FileNum)

Using the following code to import a text file greater than the
Excel limit and it seems to work fine except for the but at the
end of the import I get a run time error 62 - Input past end of
file. I click Debug and all is fine. How can I get rid of that
error message?


Sub LargeFileImport()

'Check for no entry

'Store One Line Of Text From File To Variable
