Hi,
I am looking to import lots of cvs files with different names, eg
0503200201.htd,
0503200202.htd,
0503200203.htd
and so no. After importing I want to delete this files. Is the possible in Excel OR Access.

Thanks

Bscull.

In the VBE editor look up "Kill"

eg. Kill "c:CSVFiles*.csv"

will delete ALL files with csv extensions.
Pay to put in an error routine + confimation
JIC !!

Sub kills()
Dim OKToDelete As Integer
Dim sDir As String

sDir = "C:CSVFiles"

On Error GoTo FileErr
OKToDelete = MsgBox("Delete files in " & sDir, vbYesNo)
If OKToDelete = vbNo Then End
Kill sDir & "*.csv"
MsgBox "Done!"

FileErr:
MsgBox Err.Number & ":=" & Err.Description

End Sub


or something similar


HTH

Great, Thanks.

But how can I batch import lots of files with different names? There is only some parts of the file structure that I need to use.

Thanks

Have a look at:

http://ca.geocities.com/b_davidso/We...excel_vba.html

and look for the question "I have an Excel Template file (report.xlt) and text files (1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt etc - 45 of this text files) in the same directory". The code for this could easily be modified to do what you're looking for. If you need any help just let me know.

Regards,
