Transfert Text File Name

I have a macro that uses the TransferText action to import
at tab delimited file, and it works great, but I want to
have the File Name reference to a field in a table to get
the UNC path. This way the user(s) in each office can
customize the network path for the import without editing
the macro.

Use an expression similar to this as the "File Name" argument:

=DLookup("FileNameFieldName", "TableName", "[PKeyField]=" & "SomeValue")
