Hi Josh,

I'd be happy to share my routines with you, if they would be of any use. I have a program I use to load a csv file, and a subroutine which converts back and forth between csv, dynamic and fixed width, either a line at a time or an entire flat file.

Is it possible that the URL has an embedded lf at the end from entry on

I've created csv files comma/quoted that contained URLs and were quite
long and didn't have any issues importing
   Them into excel as a .csv , at least not as breaking into two lines.

Thanks George. I changed the tabs to pipes just to display them here.
Normally I save as tab delimited with no surrounding character. Since
the cell contents copies and pastes as 2 lines, I'm not sure whether
these suggestions would solve my problem.

Thanks again,
Charlie

Not sure if this helps...

I noticed that you were showing pipe delimited lines...
If you rename your file from .csv to .txt

Then from excel, you use the "Open" option, and then you can set the
delimiter to |
     And also change the column types before it imports it, or have it
skip a column as well.

While everyone is thinking about CSV and Excel, maybe I can get a
solution to a problem that's been plaguing me for a long time.
