You want the text to show up in column A--nowhere else, right?

I recorded a macro when I opened a text file. The text import wizard showed up
and I chose delimited.

But I unchecked all the options. And I chose Text as my field type (so nothing
was brought in incorrectly).

This was the line that was important:

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="C:\My Documents\excel\book1.txt", Origin:=437, _
StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=False, _
Space:=False, Other:=False, FieldInfo:=Array(1, 2)

===
Ps. Couldn't DestCell just be A1?

set Destcell = .range("A1")

You've cleared the cells, so your line of code will always be A2.

I have the following Macro....

Can you help me to eliminate the use of any cells on the
import? It comes in all chopped up but I just want it as
the text file is that I am bringing from
Filename:="G:\Gas_Control\EXCEL\DEPT\Y2K\Weaternet
Forecast\cgasdisc.txt

Any HELP would be greatly appreciated.
