Thanks to mudraker for the help...I finally got it to open
my ascii file in the format that I wanted with the
following code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim sFile As String
sFile$ = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text Files
(*.*),*.txt")
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=sFile, Origin:=xlWindows _
, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:= _
xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=True, Semicolon:=False, _
Comma:=True, Space:=False, Other:=False,
FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), _
Array(2, 1), Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5,
1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1), Array(8, 1), _
Array(9, 1), Array(10, 1), Array(11, 1), Array(12,
1), Array(13, 1))

However, I would like to now put it in the active sheet in
cell p1...where do I place that code...I tried with
ActiveSheets.add but I'm lost from there...

Thanks a lot in advance

Mad Scientist...really going mad...

The only way I know of doing this is to open the text file ( as alread
done) then copy column a to column p



To copy from Column A to column P same sheet

Activesheet.columns("A").Copy Destination:=Activesheet.columns("A")

To Copy to a different worksheet

Activesheet.columns("A").Copy Destination:=Workbooks("Nam
Here").sheets("Sheet Name".columns("P"
