Hi Xavier, thanks for your answer.
You are right, Excel can import csv files directly. But the normal user would double-click on a csv, as the csv-file has an xls-icon under windows systems with excel installed. But this can cause problems, especially with our csv. Our csv-file is structured like this: 01299;Text1;Text2;25;Text3 As you can see, the first column contains numeric data, some with a leading 0. Opening this file in excel would cut the leading 0 in the first row. And that would cause problems. Importing it using the "import-menu" in excel is allways successfull. But that means more work for the user. The user wants just to open the file. That´s why i asked for converting it with Rev/VBS. Btw: There are various specifications and implementations for the csv format. There´s no real standard.
