How do I change the output file from xls to CSV?

Hi Experts,

We've got this well working script (see below) that produces an XLS file. But our results  exeed the limitations of the XLS format. That's wy I'm trying to write my output to CSV.

Can this be done by changing our current code or do I need complete other methode to make this work? And what sould be changed to get this working?

All help welcome

-----current code-----------------
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="connect.asp"-->
<%  
Server.ScriptTimeout = 600

Response.Buffer=true

'Declare some variables
dim RS, pid
Set RS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
pid = Request.QueryString("pid")
sql = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id= " & pid & " order by datum"
RS.Open sql, CS  
'This is the the code which tells the page to open Excel and give it the data to display
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
'You can give the spreadsheet a name at the point its produced
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename="& pid&".xls"  

loopCounter = 0

%>
 
<!--  
Note that I have formatted the output header here to a dark blue background and white text
this will be reflected in the spreadsheet when its produced and you could extend this to your own tastes of course.
