Bjorn,

Sorry, sloppy copy and paste work. That last parameter should read:

OtherChar:="*"

Note the ending double quote mark.

Hello!
Thanks for the help. It worked really good, but I have a small question
more.
I can not use Comma (,) as the delimiter (because some of the data that
will be copied into the text file contains comma). So I change it to *.
So far so good!
But when I would like to upload, I get some problems when the data
contains commas. Everything get misplaced. I tried to change
Comma:=True to for example Star:=True or SemiColumn:=True, but it
doesn't work. Do you have any suggestions how to fix it?

And I am really thankful for your help, I would never managed this by
myself. THANK YOU!

Bjorn

Here's the code:

Code 1
myName = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
FName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename( _
Replace(myName, ".xls", ".txt"))
On Error GoTo EndMacro:
FNum = FreeFile
Open FName For Output Access Write As #FNum
Set myRange = Worksheets("database").Range("A6:CL6")
WholeLine = ""
For Each myCell In myRange
WholeLine = WholeLine & myCell.Text & "* " 'Changed to *
Next myCell

WholeLine = Left(WholeLine, Len(WholeLine) - 1)

Print #FNum, Trim(WholeLine)


Code 2
Dim myBook As Workbook
Workbooks.OpenText _
Filename:=Application.GetOpenFilename, _
DataType:=xlDelimited, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, _
*Comma*:=True ''Here's my problem!!!
Set myBook = ActiveWorkbook
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Database").Range("A6").Pa steSpecial _
Paste:=xlPasteValues
myBook.Close False
