how to dynamically import a text file
 

I don't want to hard code the path and file name. I want to make it dynamic.
This is what I have so far but it fails. Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Darren

Sub import_cmsies_in_trans()
Dim vInv_file As Variant
Dim vInv_file_A As Variant

vInv_file = Application.GetOpenFilename(Filefilter:= _
"Text Files(*.txt),*.txt", Title:="Open the CMSIES in transit file")

'I can see here that I have the path and name via the msgbox
vInv_file_A = "TEXT;" & vInv_file
MsgBox (vInv_file_A)

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"vinv_file_A", Destination:=Range("A1"))

Try removing the quotes from around vinv_file_A in your QueryTables.Add
line
