Hi all..

Is it possible to shorten this code further...to import a text file..
Code:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
        "TEXT;E:\Macros\Input\MTO_" & Format(Workbooks("NSE Converter.xls").Sheets("Sheet1").Range("G2").Value, "ddmmyyyy") & ".DAT", Destination:=Range("A1"))
        .Name = "MTO_04012010"
        .FieldNames = True
        .RowNumbers = False
        .FillAdjacentFormulas = False
        .PreserveFormatting = True
        .RefreshOnFileOpen = False
        .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
        .SavePassword = False
        .SaveData = True
        .AdjustColumnWidth = True
        .RefreshPeriod = 0
        .TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
        .TextFilePlatform = 437
        .TextFileStartRow = 1
        .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
        .TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
        .TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
        .TextFileTabDelimiter = False
        .TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
        .TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
        .TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
        .TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)

        .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
    End With
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Why do you feel the need to shorten it?
It is really just one command, with all the settings associated with it. Those shouldn't be slowing it down.

What Joe said.

Although you can hide it away in a separate procedure if you don't want to look at it, and just Call it when it's needed.
