1) I suspect a lot of the properties in that list can be deleted as they'r
probably default
2) check that the file hasnt' got blank lines at the beginning...thes ewould
cause the apparent offset

Hello,

I saw a previous post on this and obtained the following code. After
execution of the code, the code runs without any errors but the data from the
file whic is selected for import does not "paste" or import to the
destination cell of A1. Any ideas of why this might be?

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & fname, _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = shfname
.FieldNames = True
