Default Good way to open a .txt file, copy/paste all text into Excel?

All,
What is a good way to open a .txt file, select all (it's all text),
copy.... then paste into an empty excel sheet; using VBA code?

Here's the situation:
I would like to run this sub when the workbook opens. The location
and name of the .txt file are always the same. I just need to simply
select all in txt file, copy, then regular paste into an excel sheet.
However, i will need to code past the question pop-up in excel about
the 'Data on the Clipboard is not the same size and shape...." .
clicking ok to that pop-up gives me what i want. Then close the .txt
file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve
