I'm New to the VB.Net environment this is the fist program I've attempted to write. I am trying to display the first 150 records into a datagrid and then write the first 150 and the entire file into a CSV file and I'm stuck. I need to keep the column headings for future uploading. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

You can read the article here to see how to export data into excel. More similar article will be posted soon. you can PM me for a customized one too.

Only Issue I have with Excel is the Record number delimiter that is built in somewhere around 50000 records. Alot of the files that I have are much larger than this. So I was hoping to export to a text file with with Tab Delimited. Any Ideas??

you can open a text stream writer and write the data to the text file.
