export to csv file (comma problem)

Hi
I am using the following code to export data in excel file (muliple columns)
to csv file
sub Export_toCSV()
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("actlist").Select ' actlist is a named rage (3
columns)
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
True, Transpose:=False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=path, FileFormat:=xlCSVMSDOS,
CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
ThisBook.Activate
ThisBook.Worksheets(1).Range("A1").Activate
End sub()

Here is what I am getting.
22900002,46002759,
22900003,46002776,22525548
22900040,46002806,
22995012,46002873,25658415
22995014,46002877,
22995103,46002982,
22995111,,
22995117,,
22995127
22995128
22995153

What I DON'T understand is why there are two commas put in for 22995111 &
22995127. (if the 3rd column does not have data, 1 comma put in for the same
numbers)
Also, why the comma is at the end for some rows but not for others. I need
consistency. if the comma is put always, I need the comma even for the last
column.
OR the comma should not be there if there are no data on the next column.

22995012,46002873,25658415
22995014,46002877,

Note: when I write to the file line by line with print statement its OK but
the performance is very slow.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance
