Files saved as csv files are actually saved as text files?
I am opening txt files in Excel, importing them using the wizard and then
saving them as csv files for use in another application. However the upload into the other application fails. When I check the csv file in Excel it all looks fine but if I open it in notepad I can see that it is not comma separated but is using semi-colons (a good indicator that it is being saved as a txt file). How can I get Excel to save it as a proper csv file? I am using Excel 2000

Try changing your windows list separator to a comma.
In WinXP Home, it's under the control panel|regional and language options applet. Click on the Customize button in the Regional Options tab Then change that list separator on the Numbers tab. Be aware that this is a windows setting and may affect other stuff.

If you look in Windows Regional Options (in Control Panel), what do you have
as the list separator? -- David Biddulph "Queen_Of_Thebes" wrote in message ...
