I am trying to write VBScript to save an active Excel file as a CVS file, The format of the Excel file needs to be retained.

I am getting an error at:
Do While .cells(intR, 1).value <> ""
Format error, it displayed "" (nothing displayed).
I changed the double quotes with "-1", this now shows the first part number but again an error.
I am using VS 2022.
Is it too much to ask to see your project so I can open it...
I did not know this; I am working with legacy Excel files.
I do know this has been done before, I have an EXE file that is doing what I am attempting to do, I just need to update things for new versions of OS and the CMM software. Unfortunately, the source code is unknown.
I will create a new...
Using method 1 of your two solutions.

Its adding a lot of "=" signs.

Part - 00-294528
BoreSystem - 5x75
KidneySystem - 3x50
DatumATip - 3
Number of Bores - 9
What I need is what you posted: (Values from the 2nd row, those are my variables for a CMM language called PCM).
Part - 00-294528
bore_system - 5x75...
I'm going to move forward; I appreciate all the Help/Code you have provided.
I'll worry about looking for help later if I can't resolve this on my own.

By adding something similar to this?:

WOW.
Something I did not understand or know, it seems that the first row (header row?) is automatically included in the population? (If I expressed that right).
Removing the Header Row Property by adding:
HDR=YES to the following.

In Excel, I can get a Row (to used range) and place that in a Listbox/Combobox as a Column using "Transpose".
See image of the excel worksheet: Excel file Data in a row.PNG
At runtime of my VB project, I select the first entry (Part), 00-294528 in my Combobox, as you helped, it places that...
The code works as you stated, I am now reading on how to get the entire row from "Part" in the Listbox transposed to a column.
I've been reading for a couple days now, and I found the Code Bank page.
