I don't think I was clear...

WS.SaveAs "c:\filename.csv", xlCSV

That line of VB code creates a CSV file but with commas ( , ) not with pipes
( | ).

- xlCSV is the Fileformat, which is incorrect for what I would like to do.
Is there not another fileformat which include pipes, instead of commas.

Thank you

You could create a macro that exports the data the way you want.

Here are three sites that you could steal some code from:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:
www.smokeylake.com/excel
(or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm)

Chip Pearson's:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm

J.E. McGimpsey's:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/textfiles.html

(or maybe you could build your own formula and copy|paste into Notepad.)

Check out Earl's Text Write program first. It may do exactly what you want
right out of the box.

Hello,

My system settings are set to have commas shown as pipes.

But when I use the following command in VB, the output file still uses
commas -

WS.SaveAs "c:\filename.csv", xlCSV

I presume there is a listing of valid "FileFormats". If there is a link,
that would also be appreciated.

Thank you
