If the delimiter is a Comma and it has a CSV extension, then just opening it
in Excel should do what you want.

Try opening it in Excel manually and see if it gives you the proper results.

If not, turn on the macro recorder and then do Data=>Text to Files, then
incorporate the recorded code/approach in your code.

Try this .NET Excel converter :

http://www.aspose.com/.net/excel-component.aspx

I hope it will solve your problem because they provide code example
also for
converting csv files to excel and vice versa.

Assumes running an automated instance of Excel AND you don't want an
extra dependancy on a 3rd party component...

To import FROM a CSV:
Put the CSV data into an ADODB recordset, then 'dump' it into a
worksheet like so...

wksTarget.Range("A1").CopyFromRecordset rsData

...where 'wksTarget' is a fully qualified object ref to the sheet
receiving rsData (the var containing the recordset).

To export TO a CSV:
Use Excel's SaveAs method like so...

wkbTarget.SaveAs Filename:=sFilename, FileFormat:=xlCSV

...where 'wkbTarget is a fully qualified object ref to the workbook, AND
sFilename is a string var containing the full path and filename.
