Default Overwriting prior formula

I'm trying to setup a code to import a .txt file into Excel. I have the
import code programmed into a button on Sheet 1 that imports the file into
Sheet 2 starting in cell A1, using four columns through D1.

My problem is that when I try to update the .txt file and re-import it, it
moves to E1 through H1, then I1 through L1, etc., and screws up my other
formulas that rely on this information.

How can I set this formula to overwrite the previous information and not
move to the next available space?

Here's a copy of the code:

Sub importlist()
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;P:\c ount\count.txt",
_
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "count"
.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 = xlFixedWidth
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(7, 25, 2)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub


TIA....
Mark
