Attachment Format Conversion?

[Lori Gumbiner]

**
Hi guys!  the  WAG Remedy team all stayed home from "RUG in a BUG" this year, too.

And, we are trying to do a nifty trick:

        User opens a record with an attachment file that is an Excel worksheet, formatted *.xls

        Can we give the User a button on the Remedy form that will convert that attachment to *.csv format?

We have brainstormed all sorts of ideas (some feasible, some wishful thinking) , e.g. calling a converter utility, or using OLE to run a  macro in the xls to save it as csv.

Thought we'd bring the List's creativity to the problem.  Any ideas?

Oh, and any utility needs to be credible and free.
