Excel Save as Question

I'm sure there is a real easy answer to this one but I
can't find it.
Why doesn't this work?

I have to save the .xls file as a .txt file - tab
delimited.

tell application "Finder"
	set targetFolder to choose folder
end tell

set NameToSaveAs to "Excel_Book_34.txt"

tell application "Microsoft Excel"
	tell active workbook
		--THIS DOES NOT WORK RIGHT YET
		save as filename NameToSaveAs file format text tab
in targetFolder
	end tell
end tell

I am always amazed at the many workable ways these
things can be done.  [Why can't I find this one?  :(
]  Thanks for your help here.

Oakley
