Default Problems with Importing a File


Hello!

I'm working on creating a utility that will import files from an FTP t
the user's hard drive, and then, if the user chooses, import th
particular file last downloaded into excel in a new worksheet. I'v
found a lot of code online and added it to what I've already made, an
this is what I have so far:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Public Sub ImportTextFile(FName As String, Sep As String)

Dim RowNdx As Integer
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim TempVal As Variant
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim Pos As Integer
Dim NextPos As Integer
Dim SaveColNdx As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'On Error GoTo EndMacro:

SaveColNdx = ActiveCell.Column
RowNdx = ActiveCell.Row

Open FName For Input Access Read As #1

While Not EOF(1)
Line Input #1, WholeLine
If Right(WholeLine, 1) < Sep Then
WholeLine = WholeLine & Sep
End If
ColNdx = SaveColNdx
Pos = 1
NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep)
While NextPos = 1
TempVal = Mid(WholeLine, Pos, NextPos - Pos)
Sheets("Import Results").Select
Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).Value = TempVal
Pos = NextPos + 1
ColNdx = ColNdx + 1
NextPos = InStr(Pos, WholeLine, Sep)
Wend
RowNdx = RowNdx + 1
Wend

EndMacro:
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Close #1

End Sub

Public Sub Import()
Dim Sep As String

Sep = InputBox("Enter a single delimiter character.", _
"Import Text File")
ImportTextFile CStr(txtPC.Value), Sep

End Sub

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This code works, and imports the file, delimited by a character of th
user's choice, but it absolutely refuses to import on a new or eve
seperate worksheet. It instead just pastes over on the main page, whic
is pretty annoying. Does anyone have an idea on how to adapt this cod
to start posting the import on a new worksheet? I'd be ever s
grateful!

Respectfully yours,
Mat
