excel vba open

What is the difference between open method and opentext  method members of the workbooks object

where the first also opens text files

  • adnan2004 

    Workbooks.Open does let you open a text file, but you won't have any control over how it opens.

    Workbooks,OpenText has a series of arguments that let you specify how to process the text file:

    • Is it delimited or fixed width
    • What is the data type of each column
    • And more.
