Need help : Open a csv file with semicolon separation
 
Hello everybody,

I need to open a csv file with semicolon separation but the separation
used is always the comma.

I tried this differents methods :

- Workbooks.OpenText Filename:="D:\Excel\data\file.csv",
Semicolon:=True, Comma:=False

- Workbooks.open Filename:="D:\Excel\data\file.csv", Format:=4

- Workbooks.open Filename:="D:\Excel\data\file.csv", Delimiter:=";"

- Workbooks.open Filename:="D:\Excel\data\file.csv", Delimiter:=";" ,
Format:=4

If I rename the file as a text file, it works !!!

If anyone has an idea, i want to properly develop and (if possible)
don't want to change the file type

Workbooks.Open Filename:= _
"D:\Excel\data\file.csv"

Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"), DataType:=xlDelimited,
_
TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False,
Tab:=False, _
Semicolon:=True, Comma:=False, Space:=False, Other:=False

Chip Pearson has written code to allow you to open a CSV file and specify
the delimiter:
