Hi, I have this code that works fine in VB.NET but am now looking at using a similar code in Access VBA.
Is this possible to do in VBA?
It is to read a CSV file and sort through the data to find only specific lines.
Thanks always people.

There are different ways you could handle this.
Read the entire file into memory (http://www.devhut.net/2012/05/14/vba-read-file-into-memory/) then parse it using Split() and further parse it by parsing individual field using Split() again.
Import (Link) to the CSV directly then you could simply loop through the content link any other table.

As Daniel says, different ways.
I would import the file into a scratch table, and work over it w/ queries.

It is to read a CSV file and sort through the data to find only specific lines.
For any import I use a generalized function that reads an input file line by line.
Each line is split with the Split function, using the appropriate separator. From then on you can make your own logic depending on whatever criterion on the different array elements.
