Hi!

I have been googleling around for a whole day without coming to
conclusion with this issue.

I am trying to import a CSV-file (semicolon seperated values). I hav
tried and tried with all sollutions I have found but nothing works. I
still imports it with all the semicolons and does not seperate th
fields.

I have tried this:
Workbooks.Open "C:\test\Planner.csv", , , , xlCSV, , , , ";"
this:
Workbooks.Open FileName:=C:\test\Planner.csv, Format:=xlCSV, _
Delimiter:=";", ReadOnly:=True

Neither works. I have also tried to change the ";" to the number fo
semicolon and that didn't work either.

This works:
Shell "Excel.exe " & "C:\test\Planner.csv", vbMinimizedNoFocus
But the problem is when I open the document this way I dont get th
link requiered for my VBA module to work.

Please, please, please help a desperate man!

Rob,
Excel is taking the value from the Regional OptionsNumbersList Separator
setting.
If this is a ";", the your csv will open as desired. Otherwise, Excel does
not consider the ";" as separating anything.

The alternative is DataGet External DataImport File. Record a macro when
you do that, you will something like:

With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:=
"TEXT;C:\PathToFile\SemiColonSeparatedFile.csv ", Destination:=Range("A1"))
'...........
'...........
.TextFileSemicolonDelimiter = True
.TextFileColumnDataTypes = Array(1, 1, ... 1, 1)
End With

The following works by me:

Sub readCSV()
Workbooks.OpenText _
Filename:="U:\family2.csv", _
semicolon:=True
End Sub
