VBA "1004" error when .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

Guess I do not understand what is going on in the background when I
execute the following (intended to process a number of Text files to
import into XL as I get VBA "1004" error when .Refresh
BackgroundQuery:=False :

Sub XLPolySAP()

myFileName = InputBox("Enter file name: ", "File to Process")

"Z").Address)
'************* Calculates Used Range then Filters out Blank cells
**************
myRange.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>", Operator:=xlAnd
Set myRange = ActiveSheet.Range("A1", Cells(Rows.Count,

'************* Deletes Rows with blank cells in Column A
***********************
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
myRange.Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
'Selection.AutoFilter
Range("A1").Select
End Sub


Is the BackgroundQuery saved somewhere?

Also, I intend to use this macro to process a number of files. How
do I get around the error?

TIA Dennis

I got it!

Should have had a "\" after ..... SAP Downloads\"

Still would like to know where the "query" is

Thanks for all those who took time!!

The query is read the text file breaking it into the fields based on the
widths in the TextFileFixedColumnWidths and store in fields typed as listed
in TextFileColumnDataTypes. With backgroundquery set false it won't proceed
until the file is read.

Interestingly, the first thing done after reading is to delete the first 6
rows which could be accoplished by setting TextFileStartRow = 7
