I have never seen a typical installation that omitted the filetype *.csv

I guess if you do not have it in your Save AsFiltype(4th from the bottom) then
a re-install may help.

OR you can go to Chip Pearson's site and copy the code he has for exporting to a
*.txt file with your choice of a comma as a de-limiter.

I am using excel version 2003 and in my setup it does not have a comma

is a comma option that I did not get in the first install. I used to do
this back a few years ago in version 2000, but I do not have that available
now.

the
files if they are comma deliminated. I use excell to update these data

for drag racing. I can import them into Access and then output in comma
deliminated from there but that adds a lot of extra work and time.

Any help would be appreciated.
