A .CSV file is a comma seperated file so when writing to the file just make sure that you use a comma "," to seperate the output values so that they will be written to different cells.

Below are the steps you can follow:

1. create an object of File type
2. make your file name extension be .csv

Lets say you want to write 3 Headers in the file in the first line do it as follows :

fs.Write(heading1)
fs.Write(",") // comma for separating headers to be in  
                  // different cells of the file
fs.Write(heading2)
fs.Write(",")
fs.WriteLn(heading3)

Where :

fs = Object of type File
heading1-3 = text to be written as headers

I hope this may assist you.

Thanks MacD .. It that simple Hugh.. OK   Will implement it
