Default Help: Import text transpose append to new worksheet

Help! I've just been given a project with a very short deadline,
because the original folks are no longer involved, and am a newbie at
VBA. Pointers are greatly appreciated.

I have thousands of individual e-mail text files containing survey data
(from an online survey form). I need to pull all of this data into a
spreadsheet so we can do some basic analysis. I can pull the data in
manually, but that will exceed both the timeline and budget for this
project.

I think I need to create a VBA script to import a text file then
transpose the data from a column format to a row format then append
that data to another worksheet containing all the records. Then do that
again with the remaining thousands of files. There may be a cleaner
approach.

Sorry to be a complete idiot at this point -- trying to get my head
wrapped around VBA even as I type.

Thanks! Trish
