With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;F:\MyFile.txt", Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = MyFile

Looks for F:\MyFile.Txt

you need to change to

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & MyFile, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "MyFile" & Activesheet.QueryTables.count

+ 1

Cecil,

I get run time error 1004, Cannot find the text file to
refresh this external data range.

I get this error even though the file exsists and I
select it with the myFile= . The debug routine

highlights
the last line of code.

Thanks,
Dan

properly. The macro stops with the last line, Any

help

MyFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text

Files,*.Txt")

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;F:\MyFile.txt", Destination:=Range

("A1"))
.Name = MyFile
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier =
xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1,

1, 1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, _
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

End With
End Sub
