Importing Data

[Sash]

When importing a large file into Excel that flows over the limit of one
worksheet, is there a way to have it automatically flow to the next sheet?

We will need a macro to import line by line and keep counting. Once line
number exceeds a preset limit, switch to next sheet please.

Cheers

Can you point me in the direction of an example of such?

This is one of THE most faq.
Google with key words "line input" will give you tons of it please.

Microsoft has a macro solution that may help:

XL: Importing Text Files Larger Than 16384 Rows

I'd just use my favorite text editor and split the data into smaller pieces--and
then import each piece to a new worksheet.
