Hi all,

I'm trying to run the below macro that imports a text (.txt) file int
a spreadsheet. However, when I run the macro I get a Runtime erro
message. The debugger points to the line highlighted red below.

Can anyone suggest what's wrong here?

TIA,

SamuelT

It may be highlighted in red in the Excel Forum, but in other forums where
this would have a better chance of being answered, there is no highlighting.
If you want help, indicate in some other way what line is problematic.

if the line .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False is returning an error the
my answer to your problem would be to remove it from the macro :cool

You realize that if you do that, then the macro does nothing. Refreshing the
query is the same as saying execute the query. So if you don't execute the
query, naturally you will get no errors.
