Sorry Chip--U didn't realize you meant post it HERE.
I am just using is AS IS on your site.
Public Sub ExportToTextFile(FName As String, _
Sep As String,
SelectionOnly As Boolean)
Dim WholeLine As String
Dim FNum As Integer
Dim RowNdx As Long
Dim ColNdx As Integer
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim EndRow As Long
Dim StartCol As Integer
Dim EndCol As Integer
Dim CellValue As String


Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error GoTo EndMacro:
FNum = FreeFile

If SelectionOnly = True Then
With Selection
StartRow = .Cells(1).row
StartCol = .Cells(1).Column
EndRow = .Cells(.Cells.Count).row
EndCol = .Cells(.Cells.Count).Column
End With
Else
With ActiveSheet.UsedRange
StartRow = .Cells(1).row
StartCol = .Cells(1).Column
EndRow = .Cells(.Cells.Count).row
EndCol = .Cells(.Cells.Count).Column
End With
End If

Open FName For Output Access Write As #FNum

For RowNdx = StartRow To EndRow
WholeLine = ""
For ColNdx = StartCol To EndCol
If Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).Value = "" Then
CellValue = Chr(34) & Chr(34)
Else
CellValue = _
Application.WorksheetFunction.Text _
(Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).Value, _
Cells(RowNdx, ColNdx).NumberFormat)
End If
WholeLine = WholeLine & CellValue & Sep
Next ColNdx
WholeLine = Left(WholeLine, Len(WholeLine) - Len(Sep))
Print #FNum, WholeLine
Next RowNdx

EndMacro:
On Error GoTo 0
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Close #FNum

End Sub

And the other one is:
Public Sub DoTheExport()
Dim FName As Variant
Dim Sep As String

FName = Application.GetSaveAsFileName()
If FName = False Then
MsgBox "You didn't select a file"
Exit Sub
End If

Sep = InputBox("Enter a single delimiter character (e.g., comma or
semi-colon)", _
"Export To Text File")

ExportToTextFile CStr(FName), Sep, _
MsgBox("Do You Want To Export The Entire Worksheet?", _
vbYesNo, "Export To Text File") = vbNo
End Sub

I am sure I need to DEFINE some parameters here is that correct?

Post the code you are using to call the export macro.

Hi,

I need help on the Macros posted on chip's web site at
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm

(I am a newbie at VB.)

I have basically copied and pasted the 2 macros for
importing-each in a
separate module and saved in a file (importtotext.xls).

When I open the file and then minimize it, if I have another
file open into
which I want to import text data, I run the macro and it works.

(I may not even be doing this right.)

Doing the same for the EXPORT macro does not work.

I just copied and pasted into a module each of the EXPORT
macros but no
joy--I get error messages such as "delimiter" expected here, or
parameter
expected etc.

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it out as I
could REALLY use
the export macros!

Tx a million.

S
