I am trying to make this code work. I don't have any experience with defining things and this is my second program. The error returmed is "SyntaxError: invalid syntax"
Please post the whole error message, much of the useful stufff - like the location of the problem! - is in the earlier lines.
However taking a wild guess - are you using Python v3?
print "------ beginning to convert XLS to CSV ------"
If so print is now a function so you need to surround the string with ()
But if you are not using v3, then please send the fuill error text. -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
