Is there any way to have VB6 programmatically convert an embedded Excell
file into a text file (or any sequential file)? I am relatively new to VB6
and none of the books I have consulted have the solution. Thanks in advance.

When you say embedded I ***ume you mean you are using an OLE container
control. The following code opens a sequential file, writes out the
contents of a known Excel range and closes the file.

dim objExcel as Object
set objExcel = oleExcel.Object

dim row as integer
dim col as integer

open "csv.txt" for output as #1

for row = 1 to 10
for col = 1 to 10
print #1, objExcel.worksheets("sheet1").Cells(row, col).Value
next col
next row

close #1
