I have zero experience with VBA. Im trying to make my life easier by looking for examples on the web.
I have an application that dumps a list of reports for servers. Each server report is contained in its own file either n doc or html format.


for instance
server1.html
server2.html
server3.html


I found the code below. In order to test I created test files as follows
file1.txt
file2.txt
file3.txt
file4.txt
file5.txt




Sub LoadPipeDelimitedFiles()
Dim idx As Integer
Dim fpath As String
Dim fname As String


idx = 0
fpath = "c:\Users\brittany\Desktop\"
fname = Dir(fpath & "*.txt")
While (Len(fname) > 0)
idx = idx + 1
Sheets("Sheet" & idx).Select
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" _
& fpath & fname, Destination:=Range("A1"))
.Name = "a" & idx
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileOtherDelimiter = "|"
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
fname = Dir
End With
Wend
End Sub



I receive the following error and it seems that iteration is interrupted.


Microsoft visual basic
Run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range.
When I hit debug


Sheets("Sheet" & idx).Select line is highlighted.


Only tabs 1-3 are populated with the associated file data. In addition, the script doesnt work at all for html or doc files.


Thanks alot in advance for your help !

Only tabs 1-3 are populated with the associated file data.how many sheets in your workbook?
maybe you need to add more sheets when idx is above 3
