Re: Excel target in BODS 4.1

Handy vbscript you can try:

InputFileName = "C:\Documents and Settings\jblythe\Desktop\sample_file.csv"

FullName = InputFileName

FileName = Left(InputFileName, InstrRev(InputFileName, ".") )

Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")

set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)

objExcel.application.visible = false

objExcel.application.displayalerts = false

objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "xls", 39

objExcel.Application.Quit

objExcel.Quit  

Set objExcel = Nothing

set objExcelBook = Nothing

list of file saveas formats: Excel 2007 Developer Reference

caveat here is that excel can have issues with unicode.
