    1. Use xlText instead of vbTab
    2. Do not put it in quotes

    Re: code to save as tab delimited text

    Thanks Jazzer, That worked great but it lead to another problem. Because I'm using filedialog it is selecting .xlsm extension for the name by dafault. The file is indeed a .txt file but it labeled it .xlsm so it gave an error saying it couldnt open it because the file format or extension is not valid ... in excel. Is there a way to have filedialog limit the extensions to just .txt? or have it not ask at all? I do need the ability to name it and select save location though. The simple solution is to always pick .txt but i know i have people who will use this who will not look at that.
