Hi everyone,
Thank you for reading my questions. I look forward to your responses.

I am reading in data from a text file. For simplicity's sake, let's
say
I'm using the following code:

Sub ProgramName()
    Open "filename.txt" For Input As #1
    for i=1 to 10
        Line Input #1, tempstring
        Range("a1").offset(i-1,0).Value = tempstring
    Next i
    Close #1
End Sub

Question #1: Let's say that after reading in 10 lines, I decide that I
want to read them in again. In other words, I'd like the next "Line
Input #1, tempstring" command to start over at the beginning. Is there
a way to do it without closing and reopening file #1?

Question #2: (related) Is there a way to randomly access a line from a
text file? That is, let's say that I know I want the read the
millionth line from filename.txt above. Can I do it without reading in
every line before it?

Question #3: (unrelated) When I was using Excel 2000 with an XP
operating system, I had no trouble breaking out of VBA code while it
was running. Ctl-Break seemed to do the trick every time. Now, with
Excel 2007 with Vista, the Ctl-Break doesn't work as well. Sure, it
will send me into break mode if it's a very modest program (a simple
but lengthy loop), but if the code gets complicated at all, forget it.
It simply won't break. Does anybody know a what I can do?

Thank you again,
Howard
