While the linefeed may not be a field delimiter, it certainly is a record
delimiter - not to say it has any bearing on the problem - as I said, just
something to look at. But its obvious you are know more about this than I
do, so excuse my intrusion.

The consecutive delimiters option is not relevant here as
the line feed is not the delimiter!

Just a thought, (I can't test it since I don't have xl
2003 installed here).
Do you have the option to ignore consecurtive delimiters
set?

I'm reading in delimited text files using the
Workbooks.OpenText method. Many of these files contain
2
consecutive Line Feeds which on Excel 2000 produce a
blank row.

Excel 2003 however ignores these and does not produce
the
blank rows, which in turn causes HUGE problems.

Can anyone suggest a workaround or explain this a bit
further.

Please reply to the group only.
