Auto import of data into excel

Here's what I'm looking for in a nutshell:

I want Excel to look into a directory (ie. C:\data ), and when it
see's MyData.csv, it imports the data and then deletes the file.

I've got the import routine written. I just don't have the auto in
and out done.

Does anyone have a link to somewhere I can find out how do this? My
googling isn't what it is normally when I'm not doped up on meds, like
right now.

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks. I was on vacation, so that's why I couldn't get back to you
so soon.

I like that. I can impliement that. But how will excel know when the
file is there to be imported? How do I have it check the directory
for the file say, every 5 seconds or so?
