FSO is about the only way to do it.  It's not really all that bad.  If you
don't like the number of lines required to load a file, perhaps make
yourself a function to handle it...  Example:

Sub FileIntoVariable(ByVal filename, ByRef myvar)
  ' Instantiate FSO
  ' Open File/TextStream
  ' Read file into variable (myvar, btw)
Exit Sub

Then, just call the function.
