    End If
MyFile = Dir
 Loop
 
I'm not seeing that error on my PC, it opens the file and reads the content into strData.

Try using Set strData= objFSO.OpenTextFile(.......etc

also sort out DIMs
Dim objFSO, strTextFile, strData, arrLines, LineCount ??? Objects, strings and integers

Thank You :) Please see:
Code:
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim strTextFile As String
Dim strData As Variant
Dim arrLines() As String
Dim LineCount As Integer
Dim MyFolder, MyFile, MyFileName As String
Dim i As Integer
Const ForReading = 1
i = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
MyFolder = "D:\TotalCompare"
MyFile = Dir(MyFolder & "\*.txt")
Do While MyFile <> ""
                   strTextFile = MyFolder & "\" & MyFile
                   strData = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strTextFile, ForReading).ReadAll
                   arrLines = Split(strData, vbCrLf)
                   LineCount = UBound(arrLines)
                   Set objFSO = Nothing
            MyFileName = Replace(MyFile, ".txt", "")
            Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 1) = i
            Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 2) = MyFileName
            Worksheets(1).Cells(i + 1, 3) = LineCount
    MyFile = Dir
Loop

Hi

There's no file system object when you loop to the second file as you have set it to nothing inside of the loop.
Set it to nothing outside of the loop.

Code:
   MyFile = Dir
Loop
Set objFSO = Nothing
End Sub
