Import Data, using a command line switch
 

Hello all.

I would like to know if it is possible to open a comma delimited text file
without going through the import data wizard.
I want to be able to use a command line switch or if there are default
import settings that I can set so that when i have Excel open the text file
it will import it correctly without any user input.

Thank you for you reading :D

try this

Sub OpenAFile()

Dim fname As String

fname = Application.GetOpenFilename(("Text Files (*.csv), *.csv"))

Workbooks.Open fname

End Sub
