Header not located on line 2 is another issue altogether.

Why would you expect or depend on user to know which line header is on? This just allows for human error and corrupted output. Will header always be same text? Arnel has right idea to pull header row. Here is my version - tested and works. 
    'get the header
    Do While Not TSRead.AtEndOfStream
        strH = TSRead.readline & vbCrLf
        If Left(strH, 1) = "C" Then Exit Do
    Loop

Hi June 7, thats perfect and thanks for the help.
