Without any testing...

'Open the TXT file in Excel
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=TXTFileName, Origin:=xlWindows, StartRow _
:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=True, _
Space:=False, Other:=False


becomes:

ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=TRUE, Semicolon:=False, Comma:=FALSE, _

G'Day Ron,

Had a look at your work, but need it to import all
tab-seperated-values. Can you give me a heads-up on what i need to
change in your coding to make this work??

Thanks
