Ok, found out why this wasn't working...I was passing "ASCII" as the Encoding
argument (the 8th srgument) to the Render method, which I really should have
realised is actually a ByRef argument.
What I should have been doing is passing
"<DeviceInfo><Encoding>ASCII</Encoding></DeviceInfo>" to the DeviceInfo
argument (the 4th argument) of the Render method.
Once I did that, the report formatted as a CSV opened up fine in Excel.
Doh! Dune

Dune,
I'm new to RS, so any help would be appreciated. Where did you put that
line of code in at? I've got users asking for ASCII format as well.
Thanks,
Chris
