Dim WS as Worksheet

Sheets.Add.Name = "Test"

Import CSV file into excel using VBA

Hi I presently have a difficulty with importing csv files into excel using VBA. I have created a macro

    'Get a text file name

    strFullPath = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.csv),*.csv", , "Please selec text file...")

    If strFullPath = "False" Then Exit Sub  'User pressed Cancel on the open file dialog

    'This gives us a full path name e.g. C:tempfolderfile.txt

    'We need to split this into path and file name
    Set oFSObj = CreateObject("SCRIPTING.FILESYSTEMOBJECT")

    strFilePath = oFSObj.GetFile(strFullPath).ParentFolder.Path
    strFilename = oFSObj.GetFile(strFullPath).Name

    'Open an ADO connection to the folder specified

    Set oConn = CreateObject("ADODB.CONNECTION")
    oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _

    Set oRS = CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")

    'Now actually open the text file and import into Excel
    oRS.Open "SELECT * FROM " & strFilename, oConn, 3, 1, 1
    While Not oRS.EOF
        Sheets.Add
        ActiveSheet.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset oRS, 65536
