I'm Importing data from a text file to Excel, and everything is ok if I have
data in my text file, but I'm getting an out of memory error message at a
..Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False when my text file doesn't have data.

How can I test if my text file is empty or not?

Could somebody tell me why or what could I do about it???
this is my code...

Range("A2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Hilda\Excel\WorryParts\WP1", Destination:=Range("A2"))
.Name = "WP1_1"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With

Thanks a lot.

Test it with something like

if Dir("C:\Hilda\Excel\WorryParts\WP1") < "" Then
if filelen(C:\Hilda\Excel\WorryParts\WP1) 100 then
' now your code.

End if
End if
