.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited

You can do it, but not with a Querytable.
Try this code:
Private Sub Open_Click()
Dim fn As Variant, myLine As Long, txt As String, x As Variant, ouput As String
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer: j = 1
Dim sht As Worksheet
Set sht = Worksheets("Sheet1") 'Modify Sheet Name
fn = Application.GetOpenFilename("Text Files (*.txt),*.txt", , _
"Open File")
If fn = False Then Exit Sub
txt = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(fn).ReadAll
x = Split(txt, vbNewLine)
For i = 0 To UBound(x)
If x(i) <> "SomeCriteria" Then 'Check for some criteria
sht.Cells(j, 1).Value = x(i)
j = j + 1
End If
Next i
End Sub
So what it does basically, it opens a user selected txt file and stores it in the variable txt. Do seperate the rows you can use the split-function. Now each line is stored in an array x. You could go trough the array/each line and take out the ones you want. To check if a specific word is in a line, use the InStr-function.
