Microsoft Visual Basic can't access a .csv file - why? How to fix?

[fred3]

In the past, I was able to open downloaded .csv files using:

With TempSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & savePath, Destination:=TempSheet.Range("A1"))
            .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
            .TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
            .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
            .Refresh
        End With

But, now, when it hits .Refresh, I get this MSVB Run-time error:

I'm struggling with finding out what's causing it.

I have compared older .csv files with more recent ones and the only difference is the first column (a date) format YYYY-MM-DD vs. MM/DD/YYY and nothing else (usng Notepad++).

Instead of VBA, Excel since 2010 version has Power Query which allows you to import .CSV files directly without any coding.

Alan,
That's very interesting! So, might that help here?
I have a VBA system that gets updated frequently. A .csv file is downloaded and saved.
(There is very little sheet interaction).
Then there is an update to the system with that new data from the CSV where it is brought into a sheet - much like you have shown.
If a new .csv is downloaded then am I to understand that the sheet can be updated automatically?

Thanks!
