Hello,

I have been tasked to produce a pipe delimited file to update a database. Currently the information is received in excel format and the database will only accept pipe delimited. Since several people work with comma and pipe delimited files i would rather not have to keep changing the regional settings. We also have proggramme that changes the , for a |. Pain in the neck since all the files have to be saved to a specific location in order for it the convert them. Is there any vb code that i could use to perform this for me. OR if there is any MS Excel addin that would work this way. I know you can import using the text wizard so why is it so hard to save as a | delimited file.

Hope you can help.
Cheers Craig.
 
Hi,

Checkout ASAP Utilities at
Check the Export option and the first menu item "Export selection or Active Sheet as new file". This includes the facility to create a csv file with whatever delimiters you wish.

Good Luck!
