Please don't post in more than one location. We can view it anywhere you post it.
As for the answer...
Is this file always plain ASCII text? if so:
| Code: |
fileNamePath = filepath & "\" & filename
rawData = ""
Open fileNamePath For Input As #1
While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, tempData
rawData = rawData & tempData & vbcrlf

If your planning on opening very large files, you might want to put in a DoEvents() line in the While loop. This will allow windows to repaint the windows so your program doesn't look locked up, but it slows down execution.
