Why use XLS anyway? I thought anything that can open XLS can also open a CSV.

[eluser]Tamilmani[/eluser]
hi , but i need xls format . CSV is not much user defined . If XLS format then user can easily identify each fields

Thats y i am asking expecting ..............

Right that makes little sense to me, and the problem of CSV is what?

You can define the first row as "headers" in CSV with a lot of applications that use it.

At any rate, it looks like XL (and OO Calc) will recognise a CSV (or tab delimited) file even if its extension is ".xls" - certainly looking at the code in the link from pistolPete it is outputting in tab-delimited format (as the OSE?? format is a pig to work with)
