Hello eveyone,

I'm a novice with VB so please bear with me.
This is what I need to automate:

1. I import two fixed width files into excel. The format of the
file will vary each time.

2. I do some formating on each.
3. Combine them into one workbook.
4. I tried variuos ways to automate this, but I'm having
some problems. Here the code to the macro. Hopefully
someone can assist me. Any help will be greatly appecitaed.
