Default Open dialogue box and importing text files


Hi,

I am designing a macro that displays an Open dialogue box that asks a
user to select a filename to open (in this case it’s a text file that I
am importing into Excel)

Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show

I need help with the code that comes after the file is selected and the
user selects open. How to I ensure that the correct column settings
(it's a fixed width import) are applied and the file continues to
open?

At present when the user selects “Open” the Import Wizzard come up. I
need this part to be automated.

I can do all of the above using an Importbox but would rather use the
dialogue box.

Hope this all makes sense!

Regards
Garry
