Default
> when i import it into outlook following error message is displayed:

Microsoft plays fast and loose with formats, so it quite possible that opening and saving the file again in whatever their spreadsheet app is called will result in a csv file that Outlook will use without complaining.

Some Java csv libraries (like Ostermiller's) give you an option of saving in a format that Microsoft can understand. But OD is right: you really have to say what package this CSVWriter you are using comes from. It isn't a standard Java class - so unless you say, no-one can know the first thing about it.
