Set shFirstQtr = Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1) 
Set qtQtrResults = shFirstQtr.QueryTables _
    .Add(Connection := "TEXT;C:\My Documents\19980331.txt", _
        Destination := shFirstQtr.Cells(1,1))
With qtQtrResults
    .TextFilePlatform = xlMSDOS
    .TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
    .TextFileTabDelimiter = True
    .Refresh
End With
