if it's a text file you could/should open it:

set wb=workbooks.opentext("path.txt")

see opentext method in vba help for all the params you can set.

some of the array settings may seem complicated, _
but just give it a few tries with the macrorecorder running ...

I have a document, saved as text from another application (business
objects) which contains the value 01/06/2004 (1st June 2004) in cell

When I open the workbook mannually I see the correct date, but when I
open it with code (workbooks.open("path.xls")) it comes up with
01/06/2004

Any help?

Thanks
