Youre file is being saved in a Unicode UTF-8 format and these characters are put in front of the file to say that Id suggest simply reformatting the first field with:
D(1) = Replace(D(1), chr(&hef) & chr(&hbb) & chr(&hbf), ) Rich McNeil Boston Software Systems 866 653 5105 x 813 www.bostonworkstation.com See us at MUSE booth 318 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen R. Smesny Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 10:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Talk] VB Delimited File problem I have a VB application that appends data to a delimited txt file. When I open the delimited file in Boston Workstation, D(1) is the following: D("1")=2385. It should be D(1)=2385. When you go to the next record it is fine. The extra characters only appear on the first record. Does anyone know what would cause this? I am assuming it is on the VB side. Is there a way to correct it in datastation or does it have to be corrected on the VB side? Any help is appreciated.
