I have been trying for a few days to crack this.

We have a Lotus Notes DB that will only accept and import of a file only if it is saved in this method

1) Opening a XLS in Open Office

2) Selecting all cells (always a single worksheet) and setting Default Formatting

3) Saving as TXT CSV

4) Then as part of the exporting process Saving as UTF-8, Field Delimiter = , text Delimiter = " AND Quote all TXT Cells

I have looked around at various pieces, and I cannot seem to be able to find exactly what I need. Would love some assistance

Here is what I have

<CODE>
<code>
Sub OTimport()
ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Cells.ClearFormats

Set wkb = ActiveSheet
Dim fileName As String
Dim MaxCols As Integer
fileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename("C:\Users\ADMIN\Desktop\Report work\OTIMPORT" & Format(Now(), "DD-MMM-YYYY hh mm AMPM"), "CSV File (*.csv), *.csv")

If fileName = "False" Then
End
End If

On Error GoTo eh
Const adTypeText = 2
Const adSaveCreateOverWrite = 2

Dim BinaryStream
Set BinaryStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
BinaryStream.Charset = "UTF-8"
BinaryStream.Type = adTypeText
BinaryStream.Open

For r = 1 To 10
s = ""
C = 1
While Not IsEmpty(wkb.Cells(r, C).Value)
s = s & wkb.Cells(r, C).Value & ","
C = C + 1
Wend
BinaryStream.WriteText s, 1
Next r

BinaryStream.SaveToFile fileName, adSaveCreateOverWrite
BinaryStream.Close

MsgBox "CSV generated successfully"

eh:

End Sub

</CODE></code>
