Well, Excel will itself generate CSV files separated with semicolons in some locales, as far as I know. It doesn't work well to have commas as decimal separator *and* field separator (although I've heard that a version of Paradox did exactly that...) I do often wonder which idiot made CSV files locale dependent, and for what possible reason. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
