Default Excel 2007 Import .txt file error 1004

I am using Excel 2007 to import a text delimited file with the path of the
file as part of the macro-recorded process.

The name of the file (example): is 123_0201_0228.txt

Since the date portion of the name changes, I changed the macro to look for
path\123*.txt

When I go to run it again, I get the following info box:

Run-time error '1004':
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the "path\123*.txt". There are several
possible reasons.

1. The file name or path does not exist.
2. The file is being used by another program.
3. The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a. . . (I don't
know how this sentence ends).

The portion that fails is as follows:

Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("A1").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;K:\path\123*.txt" _
, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
..Name = "123*"
- truncated to fit window -
..Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Cells.Select
