not sure if Excel supports it, (FileMaker does) but the formal way to include multiple lines in a TSV field is to use the vertical tab character Char(11).
(side-note: Char(11) shows up as \v in the debugger, although you can't it in literal text) if you are interested I can share a set of methods to import and export CSV for Excel, escaping and unescaping ", \r etc inside cells. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
