    Opening multiple doc/html files into excel worksheets within a single workbook

    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
