CSV file format and Excel are notorious
if your regional settings are anything but USenglish :(


Step 1 .. RENAME the thing to TXT.


DO you have Excel XP or 2003?

Check out the LOCAL argument in
OpenText and
SaveAS methods

(again: ONLY for excel XP / 2003)
it appears to have been added as an afterthought..
and is hardly documented in VBA help.

Hi,
I have a CSV file and one of the columns is date in the format of
DD/MM/YYYY. If I open this manually the date column is fine. If
however I open the same file in code...
Workbooks.Open Filename:="Log.csv"
Excel converts the dates where the first number is less than 13 to an
american type date. I.e. 03/10/2004 becomes 10/03/2004.

How can I stop this from happening???
