With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;C:\D ata\aaa_tab.txt",
_
Destination:=Range("F20"))
.Name = "aaa_tab"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0

Thanks, Tom. Now what if I need to import multiple text files into
separate worksheets? I should not have to repeat the complete piece of
code for each import. I tried several ways, but none worked. Please
help.
