I currently have a spreadsheet that takes a folder location from the use that is entered into a cell and opens 10 files in that folder, 1.txt-10.txt and makes seperate worksheets out of each of them. I recorded this macro and excel looks for an exact file name match. I would like to change this so excel will open any .txt file in the specified folder and create a worksheet for each file. Please Help!

Thanks,
Eric

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
use filesearch:

Code:
Set FS = Application.FileSearch

With FS
    .NewSearch
    .LookIn = "your path"
    .Filename = "*.txt"
    n = .Execute
End With

n is the number of files found and FS.FoundFiles is an object where there are the files names found
