Instead of 124 I want the value to be equal to the value I select but I
don't know how to insert a variable into a string.

Splice together three strings:


replace:
"C:\Documents and
Settings\RADLab\Desktop\Tyler\51-100\124shift_focus.diff.mea.51_100.xls"

with

"C:\Documents and Settings\RADLab\Desktop\Tyler\51-100\" & s &
"shift_focus.diff.mea.51_100.xls"

where you have already
Dim s as String
s="124"

or any other string you like.

I don't think I'd use .xls with a text file, but...

dim myFilename as variant
myfilename = application.getopenfilename("Text files, *.txt")
if myfilename = false then
exit sub 'user hit cancel
end if

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= myfilename, .....

This actually lets you pick the file you want to import.

Try something like

sNum = "124"

Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _
"C:\Documents and
Settings\RADLab\Desktop\Tyler\51-100\" & sNum &
"shift_focus.diff.mea.51_100.xls"

If you want the number 124 to be entered by a user try;

sNum = InputBox("Enter number")
