JC You are correct on that one for sure.
JC Text looked in order before I sent it out..
JC I hope it wont happen again.
JC I hope this is not too confusing the way I have explaind it
JC here.

JC What I am trying to do is take a active row and export
JC that row out as a delimited file format .
JC Really just using columns A thru T that have any info in
JC them per row. Some of the colums in the row I am not
JC using .The cells in order needed in the output delimeted
JC file would be S,C,E,H,I,F,D,,,J,,,,T
JC The empty spaces in the delimited file could just be a cell
JC that holds the extra comma or however.
JC This means I need these empty spaces in the delimited file,
JC not other cells in the excel file that hold no value.

JC In the column J of the excel file there is a date, this is
JC displayed as 10/25/06.
JC This is how the date info is placed into the excel file
JC from an as400 dat file that someone else does for us.
JC But need the this Date output in a different format.
JC Example
JC Excel Exported columns - s
JC ,c ,e ,h ,i ,f ,d ,,,j
JC ,,,,t Would look like this-
JC g:\sigma\sndata55\parts55\312944\599-020d,g,32,p,862423,,,2
JC 006/10/25,,,,donefile2 That means I have joined colums
JC S,C,E,H,I,F,D (PLUS 2 EMPTY SPACES) then J (PLUS 3 EMPTY
JC SPACES) then T of the target row .

JC The delimited file would need be saved as
JC c:\tmp\599-020d.bom That means delimited file would use
JC value of cell in column E in that active row for file name
JC and have an extension of .BOM for file name.The cells in
JC column U could have the action code or trigger in each cell
JC to create the delimeted file for that active row ,
JC pasteddown sheet of column U . Like active row is on A3 ,
JC click on cell in U3 and delimted file be created for that
JC row A3 . I can explain more orget you a small excel file
JC example, and a Bom file if it will help any further ..
JC I use this below , then copy the cell value into notepad
JC and then save the file as 599-020d.bom
JC =A3&C3&E3&","&H3&","&I3&","&F3&","&D3&","&","&","& J3&","&",
JC "&","&","&","&T3

JC G:\SIGMA\SNDATA55\PARTS55\312944\599-020D,G,32,P,1122445,,,
JC 39015,,,,,DONEFILE2 As I mentioned before the date does not
JC come out correct in what the above function does so I wolud
JC have to edit in notepad as 2006/10/25 and then save file
JC again .. I can explain more orget you a small excel file
JC example, and a Bom file if it will help any further ..
JC Thanks
JC Rod

You know, I don't suppose it will help if you want to export
several times but the normal processes of copying, removal of
formatting with PureText and copying again will actually produce
CSV delimited data. If it is absolutely necessary, Word's
replace command would turn the tabs into commas.
