Wow, boy does this look messed up! I made a database with the following
fields.

"Name", "Start Date", "Start Time", "End Date", "End Time", "Total Time",
"Billed", "Job", "Notes"
A typical entry would go like this:
string Name mr smith
Date Start Date 01/01/06 - the braillenote would expand the date out to
month date year
Time start Time 5:00p
Date End Date 01/01/06
Time End Time 5:15p
Number Total Time 0.15
Yes or no choice Billed no
String Job small description
Document Notes detailed notes

Here is what one of the exported lines look like:

"mr smith", "Tuesday January 24 2006", "5:00 pm", "Tuesday January 24 2006",
"5:15 pm", "0.14999999999999999", "no", "trashbin login setup", " setup
trashbin password
email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
password xxxxxx3
birthday used 11/11/1960
first company work for city trash
"

My questions when viewing this in excel directly loading the csv file:
1. Why are some of the items showing up with quotes around them?
2. why is the notes in column a in stead of column I?
3 when I read this in excel under the start time columes I see 2006 and not
the start time.
4 under the total time colume the numbers are not what I entered they look
expanded out

I entered the times and total time directly from the example above. So
.14999999 would be .15 rounded.

In the notes field I did use returns for easier reading.
Any help to get a cleaner copy would be good. Thanks.
