Excel Macro Error!

[jethro11]

Hi,
I recorded an excel macro to open up a space delimited .dat file, copy it over to an excel spreadsheet and then save it as an excel file.But when I run it I get an error message saying "Compile Error: Out of Memory". The dat file itself is only 993 KB so what is the problem? Here is the code:

Sub dat_to_xls()
'
Workbooks.OpenText FileName:= _
"Nrod dataEMSIE_Weeklyie_weekly_use_aug_2002.dat", Origin:=xlWindows, _
StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _

Array(3, 1), Array(4, 1), Array(5, 1), Array(6, 1), Array(7, 1), Array(8, 1), Array(9, 1), _
Array(10, 1), Array(11, 1), Array(12, 1), Array(13, 1), Array(14, 1), Array(15, 1), Array( _

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:="N:dperfie_weekly_use_aug_2002.xls", _
FileFormat:=xlNormal, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", _
ReadOnlyRecommended:=False, CreateBackup:=False
End Sub


I get the error message at the Array(58, 1) part of the code. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

If:

1. The file is Tab limited, which seems to be the case because Tab:=True and Space:=False, and

2. You want to import the entire file

you can remove the FieldInfo argument (delete ", FieldInfo:=" to "Array(67, 1))".

Andrew Poulsom,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion, I deleted the field info part of the code as you said and it worked. Have a great day!
