Rasheed,

I can only repeat: How to do it may depend on how the "file imports external data from a web query", and on the Excel version.
If you do not have auto_open macro in your file, then you cannot use it.

Only YOU know how the "file imports external data from a web query", and what is the Excel version. It would be good if you provide me with this. Otherwise it is like I am walking in the dark.

Here is my final advice until you provide more information:

oExcel.workbooks.Open(gcxlsLive)
*oExcel.Application.Run("Auto_Open")
oExcel.Activesheet.Usedrange.QueryTable.Refresh()
