Workbooks.OpenText Error 1004

[HaSt2307]

Hey Group,
I have conducted several searches looking for similar problems but
was unable to find anything. I (Excel 2003) am helping a buddy (who is
on Excel 2000) import a text file he receives each quarter. I have it
working on Excel 2003, but it errors out in Excel 2000.

It produces a run-time error 1004 Method Open Text of Object
Workbooks Failed. Below is the code I am using, can anyone spot
something in the Workbooks.OpenText area that would cause an error in
Excel 2000 but not 2003?

Thanks
Harry

Hi HaSt2307

TrailingMinusNumbers does not exist in Excel 2000

Ron,
I know it is not clear, but I have it commented out. Is there
something else in the Workbooks.Open that is also not part of 2000?

Thanks
Harry

aha, I see now

If I remember correct change the number to xlWindows

Origin:=xlWindows
