Hi everyone,

I want to export some data from my db in FMP 5.5 to a CSV-file.

I've created a calculated field (result is text) that contains all the data that should be in the CSV-file, but if i export the records and open the CSV-file the data is surrounded with ""'s (quotes). The program that imports the CSV-file doesn't appreciate these ""'s.

How can i prevent the ""-adding ???

If you don't want the quotes, then don't use CSV. Quotes are an integral part of CSV. Use tab delimited instead. An aletrnative would be first to open the CSV export in a text editior or word processor and replace the quote marks.

The problem is, the machine can only import an CSV-file; if i export the data as a tab delimited file, the machine can't read it.

If i have to open the export file in a Word editor and remove the quotes, then it has no use to integrate filemaker in the process.

Is there no other way? crazy.gif" border="0
