    Inconsistant Prompt foe file Name

    I am using the following code to retrieve data in the form of a text file, and put it into a worksheet .
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    My problem is this always causes a prompt screen to appear asking for the name of the file to be loaded, and I don't want this.
    The query itself was obtained by using Data->From text file. It contains the full path and file name.
    I have unchecked Prompt for file Name in Data Range Properties.
    This is a technique that I have used in a lot of applications sometime with the file prompt but usually without. I would like to understand why, can anyone help please?

    I have just seen, with shame that I had not thanked you for your help earlier this month. It was spot on the mark, and I have used your method several times since.
