Dave,

That solution is fantastic and does exactly what I had hoped to do without any third party software. Thank you very much!

It looks like you want to use a .vbs (scripting) and Dan wants to use a VBA
macro.

If you really want to use a VBS script, then maybe something like this will get
you started:

Dim myXL
Set myXL = CreateObject("excel.application")

myXL.workbooks.Open "c:\my documents\excel\book1.csv"

myxl.displayalerts = false
myXL.activeworkbook.SaveAs "c:\my documents\excel\book1.xls", -4143
myxl.displayalerts = true

myXL.activeworkbook.Close False

Set myXL = Nothing



copy this to notepad and save it as something.VBS. (and fix the
filenames/location).

But this actually opens excel (hidden, but open), opens the .csv, saves it as
.xls and then closes excel.
