    Opening data files within zip files automatically

    Hi All,

    There is data being automatically stored in text file of the same name, within unique zip files, on a directory.

    So I am trying to write a macro that will do essentially two things

    1. Look into a directory, and find any new zip file, look into it and open a notepad document called data.txt.

    2. Open the notepad file and convert it to tabular form.

    the second I can do, but I'm not aware of the first. Can anyone help please?
