Make a string variable.
Dim strText as string

strText = textbox1 value
Then put it into the string like so.
"TEXT;C:\Users\Joshua\Desktop\oasis\"& strText & ".txt",

Edit: okay that's what I get for thinking, it's a string but it's still a variable so it has to be concatenated in or it just literally puts strText into the string, you do need the & "" stuff, so I changed it above to show it should be. I would reference the textbox1 as the formname.textbox1.value also.

Good Luck!!!

Hey Jenkins,

Here is what I'd try first..

Sub TextBox2Str()
    Dim PartStr As Double
    Dim FullPath As String
    PartStr = InputBox("What Part Number was that again?")
    FullPath = "TEXT;C:\Users\Joshua\Desktop\oasis\" & PartStr & ".txt"
    
    'With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= FullPath, Destination:=Range("$A$1"))
    
End Sub
