SUCCESS

The file was successfully exported.

FAILURE

Remarks

This command supports both absolute paths (ex. C:\test.xit ) and relative paths (ex. .\test.xit ). To avoid an error dialog when opening the file, the path should match the version of Excel installed on the machine. If Office 2000/2003, use a .xls extension. If Office 2007 and later is installed, use a .xlsx extension. If Argument 2 is set to FALSE, the specified file will not be written if it already exists, and the step will return FAILURE. If Argument 2 is TRUE, and the file already exists, the user will be prompted to confirm the overwriting process.
