I have a routine that imports a text file from the users desktop.
is there a way to capture the the users name or just find the active dest top reguardless to who is logged on to the machine?

here is my current code....

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;C:\Documents and Settings\MJS2449\Desktop\SFC.txt", _

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
I tend to try to use the All Users desktop. Then you don't have to test for user name.
