non standard text import

The output has a ".qan". It is a simple to change to ".txt" and import.

I have used the file dialog box with the multi-select set to true to import multiple text files.

You can then use the With...End construct with the file-picker dialog, with multi-select set to true, to iterate thru the selected files. You could use the Name() Statement (Syntax) to rename the file to the *.txt extension then, within the With...End loop, use my sub as a function, passing to it the new file name, returning at least true/false for if the file imports without error.

I'll take a look at that. I have a task that runs every time an output is detected and changes to .txt. A second check is run to see if it has been processed and if so, it is renamed to allow for the next output. I am working on using date/time stamp to allow for several to be in a "que" to be processed. We have a small lab and it is not an issue now but I am trying to plan for the future. I would like to thank you for all your ideas /help.
