    you DONT read it line by line,
    you import it all at once with
    docmd.TRANSFERSPREADSHEET
    or
    link the excel file as a table then run an append query to import all records.

    Or save it as a csv/text file, then you can read it line by line.

    reading line by line is 1000 times slower.
