how to convert .xls to .csv in VB ?

[sujay]

Hi all,
I am new to VBA and Excel stuff.
I am trying to convert .xls file to .html.
I am successeded in that, but when i am trying to convert another .xls
file to .csv the previously generated .csv file gets lost, i..e it is
not seen, may be it get replace with new file(though names are
different).
Is any body getting same problem.

I want to save previous .csv file also.

Hi Suiay,

You can use the followinf piece of code in any subroutine you like:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="FileName", FileFormat:= _
xlCSVMSDOS, CreateBackup:=False

FileName: is the Complete file path you want to save the CSV in it.

hope it works.

but it will work only one time, i.e. if I convert another .xls to .csv,
the previously generated .csv file get lost and new file get generated

If you are using the same file name ...it should do what you said...
However, if you use another file name it will be another file and keep
both of them

the following code may help and you can change to customize your needs:


DestFile = InputBox(Filename)

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=DestFile, FileFormat:= _
xlCSVMSDOS, CreateBackup:=False
the DestFile is the complete Path and File name you want to save ...
it will save it and keep the old one as it is a new file...
