Problem with the file format xlCSV and a field separator
 

When I save a sheet using File - Save as.. to a format CSV - the result
looks OK and like this using Notespad:
1;monday;jan;1,11
2; tuesday;feb;2,22

BUT when I'm using a simple marco for the same funtion, the result looks
like this:
1,monday,jan,1.11
2,tuesday,feb,2.22

Why are the field separators different doing function manual or using marco?

Problem with the file format xlCSV and a field separator
 

Basically VBA uses US English settings.


If you are using a later version of excel, you might look at the LOCAL
argument to SAVEAS:

From Help on SAVEAS:

Local Optional Variant. True saves files against the language of Microsoft
Excel (including control panel settings). False (default) saves files
against the language of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) (which is
typically US English unless the VBA project where Workbooks.Open is run from
is an old internationalized XL5/95 VBA project).



Believe this was added in xl2002 and later.

if you have xlXP or newer:
use local:=true in the saveas statement.

when saving files from the UI this argument is true,
whereas from VBA it defaults to false...

same goes for OpenText
