Hi there. I maintain a tool that reads text files. I recently got this message from a user. The file is now "UTF-16 (Unicode) format instead of UTF-8." Now the text files have a chr(255) and chr(254) at the beginning of the file that throws off the fixed column length of everything else on the record. I currently open the file as Open Input. Should I change it to use Open as Binary or something like that? I have never run into a text file like this and am wondering if VBA has a way to interpret these files...? Any advise would be appreciated.
