Thanks for all the responses guys, must admit, i'm a little scared here, didn't mean to wind any one up.
I guess I should have been a lot clearer from the start. I apologise.
This is what i'm doing.
I'm running a microsoft query and I would like to save the file as a csv as I may need to load the contents into a database at some point.

The code I posted was just a snippet of the program. The only area I am having problems with is the save command which refuses to save as a csv.
I have looked at the microsoft documentation and tried diff. variations according to the documentation, all to no avail. Again my only issue is with the line that does the save.
$excel->Application-> SaveAs ({ FileName:="c:/remedy2.csv",FileFormat:=xlCSV }) or warn("Couldnt save file: $!\n");

Thanks again everyone


Toni
