Hi,
How to handle more than one importing text files into different
worksheets in one excel file? I have the macro as follow and please
give me some ideas of doing it.
Thanks!
Anne

Below is a segment of code I use to bring up a file select
dialogue box, and then load the selected file/s into a seperate sheet
each. The text files I work with are of consistant format and comprise a
tab delimited database.

The 'import' section is what the macro recorder gave me after I
used the import wizard. It can probably be cleaned up no end, but I've
not bothered with it yet.

I have 4 sheets at the start of my workbook which do not get
removed. Reference is made to them through the code, but it should be
easy to pick and either delete or amend.

I've documented it a bit, as other users at my work may need to
make something of it since I do not intend to maintain or adapt anything
for them =).

See ya
