Good! I was about to write back and say that I'm mystified, since my version
isn't exactly like yours.

OK, I just figured out this only happens when the original text file is
stored in the "My data sources" folder.
Text files imported from other folders don't seem to have this problem.
Thanks

I have imported a text file into an excel sheet.
Now I want to import more data to the same sheet, without changing the
existing data.

I have done this many times in the past, but now I only have the option
of
editing existing text file.

Have I changed a setting somehow?

How can I get back to being able to import multiple text data files
into a
sheet?

Thanks
Scott


I'm using Excel 2000, and I've never seen the ability to open a text file
into an existing sheet. The newly opened text file must be cut & pasted
into
an existing sheet. What exact steps (menu clicks) do you recall taking in
the past, in order to "import more data to the same sheet"?
