I'm puzzled because I'm trying to figure out a way to
write a macro to import ascii files from instruments into
my worksheets. I would like to be able to type the file
name into a text box and have it automatically import the
data to either a new sheet or existing worksheet. Does
anyone have any hints as to how I may bo about doing this?

Thanks in advance and science thanks you!
