I use xl2003.

I did a file|SaveAs

In the "save as type:" box, I chose: Text (tab delimited)(*.txt)

But in the "File name:" box, I typed: "remedy.1996"
(Those double quotes are very important.)

==========
Personally, I wouldn't bother.

I'd just name it remedy.txt (tab delimited, still)
Close the workbook
and use windows explorer to rename the file to what I wanted.

I know this can be done, because I have one computer that will do this, but
the other computer will not, it will save as remedy.1996.txt. This is
preventing me from uploading into another program. I cannot see the .txt at
the end, until I tried to e-mail the file.

As long as it does not have the .txt on the end, I can upload it into a
different program.

How can I keep the .txt off the end?
