How are you importing the text file is it through the Data Tab if so you can use something like this if it is a Data Query
Sub GetFileName3()
Dim sFileName as String
sFileName = activecell.QueryTable.Connection
sFileName = Right(sFileName, Len(sFileName)-5)
Sheets("sheet1").Range("K2").Value= sFileName
End Sub
Thanks for the reply. The file is downloaded into a directory called "C:\downloads" and a macro is used to copy and paste the data from this text file into sheet1 in the destination workbook
