DELPHI - ADO Dataset to Excel
I want to export the records of a table in MS Access to a excel file or a tab delimited text file in DELPHI. Here i have tried with ADOTable since i have no idea of exporting it with ADODataset. My code is,

procedure TForm1.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);
const
   adClipString = 2;
   ColumnDelimiter = ';';
   RowDelimiter = #13#10;
var
   s : String;
   fs : TFileStream;
   export_filename:string;
   ADOTable1:TADOTable;
   rs123:TADODataset;
begin
    connect;
    rs123:=TADOdataset.create(nil);
    rs123.Connection :=con;
    rs123.CommandText :='select * from b_table1';
    rs123.Open;
    export_filename:='c:\test.csv';
   ADOTable1:=TADOTable.Create(nil);
   ADOTable1.Connection :=con;
   ADOTable1.TableName :='b_table1';
   ADOTable1.Open;
   s := ADOTable1.Recordset.GetString(adClipString, ADOTable1.Recordset.RecordCount, ColumnDelimiter, RowDelimiter, '');
fs := TFileStream.Create(export_filename, fmCreate);
 try
  fs.WriteBuffer(s[1], Length(s));
 finally
  fs.Free;
end;
   showmessage('completed');
end;

When i opened the excel file, i found that all the field values are stored in one cell separated by commas. But i want each of the field value in each column.

I want the output file with details in the following format(in the case of text file):
H      FirstName      LastName      Age      !!
A      Ram      Ramu      21      !!
A      Sam      Samu      19      !!
A      Sen      Senu      23      !!      

In case of Excel, i want each field value in separate columns.

Please help me.

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
