Hello,

I am wondering if it possible to bypass the pop-up window prompting to select the text file when refreshing data imported from text file. I have a tab separated text file that gets updated by an external program. I find it annoying that I need to select the file every time I want to refresh the data. This is not the case when refreshing data imported from a database. Any ideas?

Thanks!
