date format change when opening file with vb
Hi,
The 4 is the data type that imports dates in the DMY format. For instance... Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="GRAHAM", Origin:=xlWindows _ , StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlFixedWidth, FieldInfo:=Array(Array(0, 4), Array( _ 23, 9), Array(26, 1) The arrays above are in the form Array(n, m). The n = start position, the m = data type. The full list for the data types (m) is... 1 General Data 2 Text 3 MDY 4 DMY 5 YMD 6 MYD 7 DYM 8 YDM 9 Skipped Therefore, from the first array above: Array(0, 4) Start position 0 & import as DMY Array(23, 9) Start position 23 & skip Array(26, 1) Start position 26 & import as general data Rob Edwards Always look on the bright side of life! *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com *** |
