Each week I have to import a new text file into Excel. The file names change each time, but the fixed width set up is the same. I tried creating a macro so that I would not have to repeat the setting of field widths every time, but when I modify the code and add GetOpenFilename to allow for the search and opening of a different file, it won't work. I have followed instructions on various sites, but nothing works. Here is the code generated by the macro. I have to change the beginning so it doesn't point to a specific file. Can anyone give me that piece of code?
