numero = 58221
interpreted = N
texte = How would one use writefile to export a tab delimited file or csv so that excel plays nice. Currently I can export using: "value1","value2","value3" Except excel formats some of the values and numeric and tries to evaluate them. I was going to try a tab delimited format such as: [unurl][fieldname1]%09[fieldname2]%09[fieldname3][/unurl] Any ideas??? TIA!
