    Help!

    I have a bunch (over 100) of text files that I want to convert into Excel format and save in one Workbook. I can open one of these files with Text Import Wizard and save with no problem, but I am dumbfounded as to how to add the other files. Everytime I open a new text file with the Text Import Wizard, the existing file disapears. The files I'm trying to import have stock data in this format:

    Date | Open | High | Low | Volume

    Like I said I can open any one of these with no problems, but I just can't figure out how to add them to the existing file as a new worksheet. I want one Workbook with each stock on its own Worksheet.

    RE: Help!

    After you've got a file open, right-click on the worksheet tab and select
    "Move or Copy", and use the drop-down to select either a new workbook (after
    the first import) or the workbook you're compiling with all the worksheets
    (after subsequent imports).
