hi Garry

I'm just downloading it into Excel itself i.e. not formally saving it. In
practice, the file seems to exist in one of Microsoft's launch areas

Hi

I have discovered that when I download a CSV file, that always contains a
"]", from the work financial system, the previous Application Event
trapping of the form Wb.Name includes the "]" character no longer traps
the the file even though the actual filename still contains a "]". The
Wb.Name now converts the square bracket "]"to a round bracket ")".

What is really odd is that if I use the Wb.FullName property the "]" is
included in the string Wb.FullName and so I can trap the "]" that way.

My question is why is the Wb.Name property no longer properly reflects
the actual filename (any more).

Any help most welcome.

Tim

Are you importing the file directly from the url or saving it to disk
before import?
