Can anyone please tell me if using the open text stream method to read a standard text file is quicker than using open for input and the line input style?

Speed wise I'm not sure but if you use FSO you have to include it when you do your package and deployment application, so you are adding baggage.
I've not done any metrics on this, but I read somewhere on TechNet that the FSO is more efficient (faster?). Might have been Microsoft waffle, but I find it more flexible and useful to use anyway.
