Hi

I've got some code which checked the if a file had 8 columns in it, before it allowed you to import data from the file into Excel.

However, the data in that file started on row 1.

I've got a file where the data starts in row 8, and I wanted to amend the code below, so it checks if the file has 28 columns starting from cell A8.

Does anyone know how to do this? TIA

If ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column <> 28 Then
MsgBox "Check you've selected the right file"

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Ok, thanks Fluff. I'll test it tomorrow.

I'm re-writing / adapting code from a previous workbook that I'd worked on, so was planning to test it all once I'd finished it. But I'll test it in bits. Thanks
