Brad,
I don’t know - I rarely use 4D’s export and when I do it’s only for a quick
text file (tab delimited) export.
I do my main exports using code and the csv version follows the cvs rules and
it works great.
Sorry I can’t share the code - it is buried in a contracted project.

Brad,
There have been a couple of “export data” related threads lately that seem to
be having problems with embedded CRs.
Where I have CRs in the data, I save the exported data as csv and that has
always solved that problem for me.
Perhaps there is some reason that is not suitable for you...
Exc
if you create a spreadsheet in Excel,
enter a carriage return inside a cell (Alt/option+Enter)
save as TSV, you see CSV-like escape in the resulting file.
e.g.
"A
B"
4D's import dialog or Quick Report doesn't offer this option,
but it is not that difficult to implement.

Some ideas:
I would question the desirability of an excel file for these data, getting the
data back out of excel will be more than a little fun.
A text file with the LFs replaced with some unique code would be better for
most purposes. Alternatively, you could pick some high ascii codes as your
/" or somesuch.
Then put the CR back after import.
