Have you ever needed to read a fixed length text file in Visual Basic? I have written quite a lot of applications where I will receive a fixed length text file from the mainframe. Tired of using the Left$, Right$ and Mid$ functions to parse each line for the individual elements of the line? Then read on. Oh, and thanks to Rockford Lhotka's, book on Visual Basic 6 Business Objects for giving me this idea.

Here is a useful function I created to solve a problem I was having in processing files for one of my applications. This function works better than trying to use the VB 'OPEN' command because it will always return the correct state of the file (even on a file that is being FTP'd at the time of the test.) See remarks in the FileReady function on it's use, as well as a sample at the end of this note.
