How big is the data file? What does it contain? Maybe try with some
very simple data. Create a new point shapefile, with just 2 or 3
columns, and try the "Save As..." to CSV. If that works, then
perhaps it's something in your data. <br>

<p>Works here, on Wheezy, QGIS 1.8. Check your column
names for >10 characters, non-ascii characters, etc.
Also, be sure that there are no spaces or non-ascii
characters in the whole path to the shapefile.<br>
