Close linked imported text file

[jcorlando]

I'm a bit stuck on this one.

I've imported data from a text file into Excel using the below code.
where sFullName is the full path and name of the file.

When I go to save the data back to sFullName,
I get an error message indicating the file is still open.
How can I close the file after importing the data?

Here's the code:

    '-- Import the Text File ----------------------------------------------
    With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & _
                                     sFullName, _
                                     Destination:=wsData.Range("$A$1"))
        .Name = sName
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 437
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierNone
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = True
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(2)
        .TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With

Are you using a query table for any particular reason? Or just to open the text file in Excel? If it's the latter, try something like:

Workbooks.OpenText FileName:= _
        SName, _
        Origin:=xlWindows, _
        StartRow:=1, _
        DataType:=xlDelimited, _
        TextQualifier:=xlTextQualifierNone, _
        ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
        Tab:=True, Semicolon:= _
        False, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False, _
        TrailingMinusNumbers:=True

Hope that helps,

Cindy

Cindy,

Thank you. Yes, I'm using that method only to import data.
And as a result, I'm having difficulty closing the connection.
And thus having difficulty saving the file.

I'll try your method.
