I would like to take an existing text file (approx 4 megs in size) and manipulate it with VB or VBA (from inside Access in that case) and then ideally place it inside a table format, at the very ...

In that case, VBA skips this step and continues with the next workbook. The code must skip the Personal.xlsb workbook because if it closes, it also stops running, perhaps leaving workbooks open.

If you have users who prefer to push Excel data into Outlook instead of importing it from inside Outlook, try this VBA event procedure.
