You are correct in that a message box displays when the workbook is opened. The VB is below with the hard-coded path in bold. Can the bash go to the excel file? The user can then run the VB and the output is stored as a text file. Thank you very much Smilie.

VB
Code:
 Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim sR As String
Dim sFile As String
    Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
    Range("A1").Select
    sR = MsgBox("Clear the sheet for new data?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2)
    If sR = vbYes Then
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
        On Error Resume Next
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        Sheets("Sheet1").UsedRange.Clear
        ChDrive "N:\path\to\folder"
          ChDir "N:\path\to\folder"
         On Error GoTo ErrHandler:    ' cause an error
        sFile = Application.GetOpenFilename _
            (FileFilter:="Excel Workbooks, *.xlsx", MultiSelect:=False)
        Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=sFile, Origin:=437, StartRow:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, _
