Hi All

Well this is not directly relevant but I thought someone might have an idea

I am trying to create an applescript to control excel and run excel macros
on my OSX mac.

I have my macro in excel and it works, but I want to open text files that
are not from a mac or excel formatted, so in the applescript I have tried

OpenText theFile SpaceDelimiter space

And

OpenText theFile Origin xlMSDOS StartAtRow 1 DataType xlDelimited
SpaceDelimiter tab with TreatConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne

And variations on the theme, I am defining the file to open as theFile
Any ideas why this does not work


thanks
Alex



tell application "Microsoft Excel"
OpenText theFile SpaceDelimiter space
Evaluate "'Personal Macro Workbook'!Script1()"
end tell
