That part of Excel interfaces to ODBC. I think you want to use ODBC rather
than Excel. You might search google for ODBC to see how you might use it. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dane" wrote: We wish to call the Excel Import wizard also called <import External data function from a DOS command and thereby format the txt file via the wizard.

hi Tom
maybe I misunderstand your point. However we do wish to use Excel and the incorporated Text Import Wizard. But mayby you are talking about how to call the API? -- Dane "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: That part of Excel interfaces to ODBC. I think you want to use ODBC rather than Excel.

In DOS you could try
excel.Exe "C:\Myfolder\Myfile.txt" and see if it brings up the text import wizard. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Dane" wrote: hi Tom maybe I misunderstand your point.
