Hi Scott,
If you output the data as comma separated (i.e. commas as the delimiter)
and use 'CSV' as the extension, it will open by default in calc. For any
other text format file, you'd have to open calc, use 'file / open' and
select 'csv' as the file type, the specify the delimiter used.

Thanks. That's what I thought, also what I'm trying to avoid; my users
are not all that computer friendly, they are so spoiled. Also, I can't
use "," separated because there are commas in the data stream that seem to
mess up the CSV scheme, must use TAB for the delimiter.
Guess I'll just have to retrain 200 users if I want to move to OOo2. :(

Scott:
Usually CSV puts " around text, and then , between cells. This way is
doesn't matter what the text contains. Can you edit your exporter to do
that? It might help.
