Add data at top of text file
 
I have a text file (CSV) formatted for upload using an FTP tool; but I need
to add a certain header to the top of the text file, before the contents.
Because this will be done often and the exacting requirements of FTP, I am
coding this procedure using VBA.

Can someone please provide a generic example showing how to open the file
for editing, insert a header, save, and close the text file?

I am familiar with both the "Open for Input/Output" method and also the
"FileSystemObject" methods. I've appended data before, but I'm not sure how
to insert info at the top of the file. Your help would be much appreciated.

Think of creating a new file, with first you new header then add the other
file.
