Would anyone know how to open (read), from the VBA, a TXT file which is on
the web ?


Thank you,

Open a TXT file from WEB ?
 

Here is one way of reading the body text of a web page, you can pass the
webtx string looking for the values and related text as required. You need
to make a reference to Microsoft Office Object Library.

Private sURL As String, webtx As string
Private ie As Object
Sub WebLink()
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
sURL = "http://www.xyz..com"
ie.Navigate sURL
'wait for response
Do Until Not ie.Busy And ie.ReadyState = 4
DoEvents
Loop
' get html page body text
webtx = ie.Document.body.innertext
ie.Visible = True
'close ie and remove memory references
ie.Quit
Set ie = Nothing
End Sub

Cheers
Nigel

the first thing I would try is

workbooks.Open "http://www.mysite.com/myfile.txt"

or turn on the macro recorder, and paste the URL to the file in the
File=Open dialog and see if excel opens it.
