Thank you. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'd do this in two steps. First, record the opening of a specific file.
Then edit the resulting VBA code, replacing the Filename:= parameter to
incorporate the variables provided by the user. You'll probably use the &
operator to combine some fixed components with some variables along with the
format operator to turn the input date into the appropriate file name,
something like
Filename := "S:\" & CompanyName & "\" & DivisionName & "\" &
text(Date,"mmddyy") & ".txt"
Along the way you can also use the immediate window in the VB Editor; type
the work print followed by the right-hand side of the equation above to see
that you get the expected path and filename.

I am trying to set up a macro to import a specific text file based on the
information the user puts into specific cells. They imput the company,
division and date and this generates a path & filename in a cell in the
spreadsheet. How can I get that path & filename into the macro? I've tried
quite a few options but with no success.

Thanks,
