I have a csv file that is being used to collect serial data from a wedge program. The file must be a csv. I would like to save the file automatically every 10 minutes to c:\data.csv using VBA but since I am not able to save code within the file I am not sure if this is possible or where to begin. Any help is greatly appreciated.

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
I want to save an Excel Worksheet as a CSV file using VBA. And the code I have, will do that, but it also closes the main Excel Workbook. How do I keep it from closing my Workbook. Here's the code: Sub SaveCSVnotExit(sFileName)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
'---> Save Current workbook just in case latest additions not saved
' ActiveWorkbook.Save
'---> Now create a CSV of the active sheet
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=sFileName, FileFormat:=xlCSV
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
'Application.Quit
' Wind up here
Sheets("MyCSV").Select
End Sub
