    Import big text file into multiple sheets

    I am trying to import a text file into excel.

    Right before the import takes place, I get a dialog box that states:

    the text file contains more data than will fit on a single worksheet.

    To continue and import as much of the data as will fit, click ok. You can then import the rest of the data by repeating the import operation on another worksheet and using the text import wizard to exclude data already imported.


    Is there anyway to code this with doing this automatically into the next sheet?


    thanks for any help

    So I am a total novice and I think the code that you have posted will help me but what steps do I take before entering the code?

    Again, I am a basic user.

    Thank you!

    Here are some instructions

    you will want to insert a module and paste it in there.

    then alt F8 brings up the menu you can use to see the macro you have inserted.
