It may wind up being a user-learning issue. I dump things to pipe delimited file (whether in *nix land or winDoze) and that way the users can open it in Excel. The ones who have to open the files I just go to their desks the first time and show them how to open the file, delimit it on the | and then on the "Next" screen change the ####### field to TEXT to keep it formatted correctly. A pain in the betuty the first time, but once they are shown they understand it. If they have to do work with the file they then save it local to their machine and start hacking it in the way they want.
Only way I found to work around quotes and things, but I'm always willing to learn new tricks. :) Robert -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
