Where are you wanting to import it to and is it a .txt file?

Sorry you are right.
I want to import a .txt file in an excel sheet by code.
Thanks
 
Had a look on the excel help and found this. Don't know if it will help but it might

TextFileCommaDelimiter Property
See Also Applies To Example Specifics
True if the comma is the delimiter when you import a text file into a query table. False if you want to use some other character as the delimiter. The default value is False. Read/write Boolean.

Remarks
Use this property only when your query table is based on data from a text file (with the QueryType property set to xlTextImport), and only if the value of the TextFileParseType property is xlDelimited.

Example
This example sets the comma to be the delimiter in the query table on the first worksheet in the first workbook, and then it refreshes the query table.

Set shFirstQtr = Workbooks(1).Worksheets(1)
Set qtQtrResults = shFirstQtr.QueryTables _
.Add(Connection := "TEXT;C:\My Documents\19980331.txt", _
Destination := shFirstQtr.Cells(1, 1))
With qtQtrResults
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.Refresh
End With
