Example
This example imports a fixed-width text file into a new query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook. The first column in the text file is five characters wide and is imported as text. The second column is four characters wide and is skipped. The remainder of the text file is imported into the third column and has the General format applied to it.
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
.TextFileParseType = xlFixedWidth
.TextFileFixedColumnWidths = Array(5, 4)
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = _
Array(xlTextFormat, xlSkipColumn, xlGeneralFormat)
