Basically I am exporting a german database form excel as a tad

this. I
must add I am exporting the excel file on a PC and fusion pro is on
a mac.
Could this be causing my problems???
Sounds like an encoding issue to me. One thing to try to figure out is
what encoding the file becomes when exported. I do not have Excel
anymore (because I moved to iWork ), but if I recall, there is an
export option for MacRoman. This is what you want.
If there is not such option, its probably Unicode. You can either
write a script to re-encode the file to MacRoman or use a desktop
application like BBedit. The script would need to take advantage of a
codepage like this one: http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/ROMAN.TXT
FusionPro wants MacRoman on the Mac :)
If your still stuck and you need to get a job out our something, you
can replace the characters with entities.
