VBA Export and save to CSV issues

Question

Found the below code online, though it's a bit strange when I run the macro for dates as my dates will convert from: [DD/MM/YYYY] to [MM/DD/YYYY]

example: 31/07/2017 to 07/31/2017.

anyone able to assist, I would want to keep it was [DD/MM/YYYY].

Refer to below:

Dim strName As String
Dim filepath As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

strName = ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\" & ActiveWorkbook.Name & " " & ActiveSheet.Name & ".csv"

ActiveSheet.Copy    'copy the sheet as a new workbook
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strName, FileFormat:=xlCSV
ActiveWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

MsgBox "File has been Created and Saved as:  " & vbCr & strName, , "Copy & Save Report"

thanks,

Depending on your local language settings (specified in Control Panel), the following should work:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strName, FileFormat:=xlCSV, Local:=True

This should ideally be used by specifying the TextCodepage parameter of the SaveAs method. However, according to MSDN reference , this parameter is ignored for all languages of Excel.

A previous question on SO addresses this, and suggests instead using FileFormat:=xlUnicodeText , and then setting the extension to .csv , ie:

ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=strName & ".csv", FileFormat:=xlUnicodeText

However, this does not seem to work for my part when testing your scenario.
