    Excel 2003 Importing large delimited text file

    Hi guys,

    Not so much a vba question but a puzzling on nonetheless.

    I have a huge text file, way over 65000 rows, probably fill a few dozen
    sheets.

    Obviously the text import wizard will only fill down to 65536. However when
    I actually import I get a message saying I can carry on the import in a new
    sheet telling the wizard to not import rows that I've already imported.

    But I cannot find any facility to do this anywhere in the wizard.

    Anyone come accross this and gotten over this hurdle?

    Regards,

    Ron

    Hi
    one possible workaround (without VBA): Use a text editor of your choice to
    split the file before importing

    Hi Frank, thanks for that advice.

    It turned out the text file had over 1 million rows of similar data.

    I imported into Access [which handled it all no problems] and did a few
    filters and exported it that way.


    Regards,
