The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYWhen you create a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro or procedure that contains the following line of code:
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Showthe Text Import Wizard is displayed automatically if you open a text file. If you want to suppress the Text Import Wizard, you must use the OpenText method. The code in the following sample macro uses the GetOpenFilename method to obtain the name of the file the user wants to open. It then uses the OpenText method to specify all the parameters for the Text Import Wizard without having the Text Import Wizard display on the screen.
