I have a workbook with 2 worksheets. One is a cover sheet with a
variety of VLOOKUP's that reference the second sheet, which is the
data collected.

I am constantly getting new data in from outside sources, but luckily
its in a CVS file that is always the same.

What I need to do is create a VB / macro that automatically goes into
the folder on my D: drive that contains the received data forms and
Imports the data onto the 2nd sheet. The data is always the same
format, and always in a plain CSV so it imports really easily, its
just the volume that kills me.

I also need it to keep the OLD data on the sheet. Whether this is
done by importing missing data, or whether ALL the data is imported
each time (thereby grabbing new dataalong with the old)... either way
is fine with me.

Also, preferably, it starts importing at line 3 of the second sheet,
since the first 2 lines are titles and descriptions.

Thanks,

Hi,

see this VBA code that imports two text files onto two sheets. If it
suits your needs you can modify it to reflect your actual situation. If
you need help with this post back please.

Not sure what you mean with "need to keep the old data".
