Hi,
I'm using Excel 2003 I want to automate the importing of data from a .txt file, but the .txt file won't always be in the same place. When I do it manually, (with the macro recorder on), I use: Data Import External Data Import Data The 'Select Data Source' dialogue box appears, I find the file I want, hit OK, then the 'Text Import Wizard' box comes up, etc. Problem is, the macro records that specific path. What I would like the macro to do is to ask the user to find the file, then automatically do the Text Import Wizard stuff. Is this possible? Here is the code so far. Range("AA1").Select With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _ "TEXT;C:\Documents and Settings\User 4\Desktop\New Quote Sheet\Pick Place for JRB001078B DDU.txt" _ , Destination:=Range("AA1")) .Name = "Pick Place for JRB001078B DDU" .FieldNames = True .RowNumbers = False .FillAdjacentFormulas = False .PreserveFormatting = True .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells .SavePassword = False .SaveData = True .AdjustColumnWidth = True .RefreshPeriod = 0 .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False .TextFilePlatform = 850 .TextFileStartRow = 1 .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True .TextFileTabDelimiter = False .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) .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With End Sub Regards - Dave. |
