.csv file creation for importing into a database
I receive data as an excel office xp 2002 file that I need to convert into a
..csv file format. When I "save as" a .csv file and attempt to import into a SQL database, the import log indicates errors. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

yes, I have. Thanks, anyway, Nick! I guess it is time to step aside and pay
the professionals. "Nick Hodge" wrote: Have you checked the text file in notepad to see if it is actually saving as a comma or some other delimiter? If it is some other delimiter, you may find your setting in windows is wrong.
