Look into the FileSystemObject (ref: 1, 2, 3)

You have to go to menu and include the Microsoft Scripting Runtime and create a global variable Global fso as New FileSystemObject.

    Dim ts As TextStream
    Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile("text_file.txt", ForReading, False)
    Dim s As String
    s = ts.ReadAll()
End Sub
