I have a text file that I am settup up to have imported into a sheet
and then do some calculations with that data. That all works fine. The issue I am having is writing the macro to import the data again to the same location and everything but the name of the text file has changed. I am pulling data from another computer that creates a text file for every day. It has a name like 20071003.s and 20071002.s Here is the code I recorded and can rerun to refresh the data from the same file; Sub Macro1() With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;\\UL TRAVISION \Opti information\prodhist\200710\20071002.s", Destination _ :=Range("D5")) .Name = "20071002.s" .FieldNames = True .RowNumbers = False .FillAdjacentFormulas = False .PreserveFormatting = True .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells .SavePassword = False .SaveData = True .AdjustColumnWidth = True .RefreshPeriod = 0 .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False .TextFilePlatform = 437 .TextFileStartRow = 1 .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True .TextFileTabDelimiter = True .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, _ 1, 1, 1) .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With End Sub Here is what I tried to chage it to, to change where the data comes from 20071003.s instead of 20071002.s I am on the same sheet when I run this also so that is not a issue. The file exists and I can import it manually. THe error I get is a runtime error 1004 that says "Excel cannot find the text file to refresh this external data range" Sub Macro1() Dim NewDataFileNameandPath As String Dim NewDataFileName As String NewDataFileName = "20071003.s_1" NewDataFileNameandPath = "\\ULTRAVISION\Opti information\prodhist \200710\20071003.s" With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;NewD ataFileNameandPath", Destination _ :=Range("D5")) .Name = NewDataFileName .FieldNames = True .RowNumbers = False .FillAdjacentFormulas = False .PreserveFormatting = True .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells .SavePassword = False .SaveData = True .AdjustColumnWidth = True .RefreshPeriod = 0 .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False .TextFilePlatform = 437 .TextFileStartRow = 1 .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True .TextFileTabDelimiter = True .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = True .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, _ 1, 1, 1) .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With End Sub Thanks Scott |
