WHOOOPS, forgot a step.... here's the one that would work:

Dim f as long
Dim strTemp as string
Dim strArray() as string
Dim strRecord() as string
Dim I as long
F=freefile
Open "C:\Folder\File.csv" for binary access read as f
Strtemp=space(lof(f))
Get f,,strtemp
Strarray=split(strtemp,vbcrlf)
Close f
For i=0 to ubound(strarray())
	Strrecord=split(strarray(i),"','")
	'this is where you would have the record, within strRecord....
Next i

My bad,  too many long nights working on a VPN issue.....

That won't work, it will result in:

1. A single large array of data elements which are not divided into
records.
2. A series of data elements in the form
"Record1Field5'CRLF'Record2Field1"
