Does decryption fail if you explicitly set a string variable to the encrypted text instead of loading from a file?
How was the ASCII text file created?

I ask because some text editors can be set to add a newline at the end of a file if there is not one. Perhaps examine the text 
file with a hex editor, or try something like:
sEncryptedText = Trim(File.Load("encrypted.txt"))

If it's not that, can you provide an example project?
