slow Macro speed

L

Lam Chop

I have written a macro to import some large csv file and then split
them into different sheets.
However, I found my macro speed is very slow. Can anybody help?

Moreover, I found something very strange about my program. It seems it
is getting slower and slower once it starts. The time it takes to
process the same number of lines from the csv file is becoming longer
and longer.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'Dimension Variables
Dim ResultStr As String
Dim FileName As String
Dim FileNum As Integer
Dim Counter As Double
'Ask User for File's Name
FileName = InputBox("Please enter the Text File's name, e.g.
test.txt")
'Check for no entry
If FileName = "" Then End
