Simply stated, I want to read a text file with data into an array for use in calculations. I am not an experienced programmer, but this is a pretty straight forward procedure in FORTRAN, but I am beside myself with the process in VB 6. The books I have and sites I've read are great, but they don't deal specifically with reading in data like this or they leave a critical element out, which may be obvious to them but for the uninitiated it is a major obstacle.

I am using the text file as a source which can be updated/modified in order to leave the main program the same. It is a 44 by 51 array (44 columns and 51 rows).

Appreciate any feedback or help.
