opening files with vba
 

Hi there.
I want to open text files with vba in excel. As long as the file is i
the My Documents folder, I have no problem. When the file is in anothe
folder and another drive, and I have to give the path of the file, I us
the chdir() function. However this doesn't work. ( actaually sometime
it does and sometimes it doesn't) .

Thanks for the advise
