Hi,

I've been asked to convert .xls files to .csv directly on a server. Theire is no possibility to install MS Excel on the server for security reasons.
So I was wondering if installing some DLLs could do the trick ?

Any help will be appreciated :)

Thanks
Max
 
If your xls files have a header for each column and then data underneath, you may be able to use ADO to query the file like it was a DB and then just write out to a .csv file using the FileSystemObject or ADO.
