in xl2002 and later
Look also in Tools=Options=International Tab.

I know there is a problem in excel 2002, that with saving as a CSV excel
uses
always the US-Setting as regional settings (not using your choice for the
seperator). If I open a *.csv with excel 2002 it uses the regional
settings
for the separator. So you have only one chance (microsoft workaround):
Change
your separator to the US-style (","). In my VBA application I want to
check
this with the following code:

list_sep = Application.International(xlListSeparator)

to ask for the separator. But with an english WindowsXP with an english
XL2002 I always receive an ";" also with an "," as separator in the
regional
settings. Any ideas?
