400 Error Message when closing File Dialog box - vba

I'm using the below code to get a file location. I'm using the file location of GetFile in a separate code that imports CSV data to one of my sheets.
The problem I'm running into is when the File Dialog Box opens up, if I don't select a file and click cancel I get a 400 error message. Can someone please let me know how to get rid of this error message?
Function GetFile() As String
Dim filename__path As Variant
filename__path = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Csv (*.CSV), *.CSV", Title:="Select File To Be Opened")
If filename__path = False Then Exit Function
GetFile = filename__path
End Function
As suggested in the comments below, the problem doesn't seem to lie in the function but in the macro calling on the function and receiving an error when it's false. The macro code is posted below; I've tried variations of GetFile = False to end the with statement but keep getting errors one way or the other.
Sub Import_log()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Bus List Import").Activate
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & GetFile, Destination:=.Range( _
"$A$1"))
.Name = "logexportdata"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Master").Activate
End Sub
For now I'm using the code 'On Error GoTo MasterTab:' above with the MasterTab: label above the line to change the active sheet to the Master tab. I know this isn't best practice so I'd love if anyone had an answer :)
Here's full code below:
Sub Import_log()
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Bus List Import").Activate
On Error GoTo MasterTab:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & GetFile, Destination:=Range( _
"$A$1"))
.Name = "logexportdata"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = False
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
MasterTab:
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Master").Activate
End Sub

if no file is selected you probably want to stop your macro. Then replace
If filename__path = False Then Exit Function
with
If filename__path = False Then End
exit function won't stop your macro and if you call GetFile from another function, it will throw an error if you're trying to do something with GetFile = vbNullString or another unexpected value

The correct way to handle this is
Sub Import_log()
Dim filename__path As Variant
'...
filename__path = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Csv (*.CSV), *.CSV", Title:="Select File To Be Opened")
If Not filename__path = False then
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & filename__path, Destination:=Range( "$A$1"))
'... Your code
End With
End If
End Sub

Run time error 1004 excel cannot find the text file to refresh this external range

I'm trying to convert tsv files in a folder to xlsx format by importing them as text file using Data=>From Text option via VBA.
During that encountered this error
Code:
Sub convert()
Dim CSVfolder As String, XlsFolder As String, fname As String, wBook As Workbook
CSVfolder = ActiveSheet.Range("B2").Value & "\"
fname = Dir(CSVfolder & "*.tsv")
Do While fname <> ""
Workbooks.Add

.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 65001
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierNone
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False

.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
wBook.Close False
fname = Dir
Loop
End Sub
End Sub
Why i'm getting the error in .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False ?
The error is happening there as it's at the Refresh stage that it looks for the file.
The issue is that Fname won't contain the path.
Change your connection to:
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & CSVfolder & fname, Destination....

Error parsing CSV to XLS with VBA script

This function is designed to open a CSV file, and import all the data into a specific Sheet on an Excel Workbook.
But I think there is some kind of problem I can't resolve in some cases with delimiters.
This is my function:
Sub LoopAllExcelFilesInFolder_Invenotry()
Dim strFilename As String
Dim wsMstr As Worksheet: Set wsMstr = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("ALL_ACTIUS")
If MsgBox("Erase sheet before start importing?", vbYesNo, "Delete?") _
= vbYes Then wsMstr.UsedRange.Clear
strFilename = Application.GetOpenFilename _
(FileFilter:="CSV File (*.csv), *.csv", _
Title:="Select CSV file: ")
Worksheets("ALL_MACHINES").Activate
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & strFilename, _
Destination:=Range("A1"))
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 1252
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = False
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub
This is part of the source code (CSV file), containing a line that is not beeing "translted" as expected:
Here you can see how this line is translated to the Excel. The 12X5" string should'nt be there. The first column should only contain IP addresses.
I'm pretty sure It's a delimiter character issue, but I can't find the solution.
The Workbooks.Open command worked for me with that issue.
Dim wb As Workbook
strFilename = "yourfilename.csv"
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(Filename:=strFilename, local:=True)

Run time error 5 Invalid procedure call in macros

I am trying to import text file using macros but i am like getting the error 5, invalid procedure call. I have tried recording the macro and re ran but it is showing that error at the "commandtype" line. I could not find out the reason. Any help is appreciated

I think it is trying to do a process with an incompatible file type. Try removing the commmandtype line and then rerunning. Hopefully that works

Import multiple CSV files into master excel spreadsheet and append the data to previous imports

I have a script that imports a .csv file into worksheet "Data"
After the first import all following ones appear to the right of the previous imports and not added onto the bottom (last row).
I think the issue involves this area of the script:
Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").Range("$A$1"))
Sub load_csv()
Dim fStr As String
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Cancel Selected"
Exit Sub
End If
'fStr is the file path and name of the file you selected.
fStr = .SelectedItems(1)
End With
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & fStr, Destination:=ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data").Range("$A$1"))
.Name = "CAPTURE"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells
.SavePassword = False
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.TextFilePromptOnRefresh = False
.TextFilePlatform = 437
.TextFileStartRow = 1
.TextFileParseType = xlDelimited
.TextFileTextQualifier = xlTextQualifierDoubleQuote
.TextFileConsecutiveDelimiter = False
.TextFileTabDelimiter = True
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = False
.TextFileCommaDelimiter = True
.TextFileSpaceDelimiter = False
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
.TextFileTrailingMinusNumbers = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
End Sub
You need to examine the destination to see what the next unused cell is.
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
..., Destination:=.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
'lots of other stuff
End With
You can rereference the ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data") repeatedly but using a With ... End With statement is easier.

VBA CSV Import Code in Shared Network not working on co-workers connections

I have coded a csv import file that imports and sorts information, but the import section of the code is being skipped with no errors on a co-workers computer and not mine. We both access the same file in the same folder on the same shared network, but for some reason we are not running the code the same.
There are no error codes, and we set up his connection to the shared network using the same network folder: N:\12ABC\PROGRAM\Main (Put CSVs Here)
