I get the  symbol at the beginning cell of any csv export. Does anybody know what causes it or how to get rid of it? Thanks Brucehttp://homepages.woosh.co.nz/bf/

What program is exporting the CSV? Have you looked at the file with a binary dump program? Check for export options.__________________________________________________________________ William Vaughn Mentor, Consultant, Trainer, MVP http://betav.com http://betav.com/blog/billva http://www.hitchhikerguides.net Hitchhikers Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition) Please click the Mark as Answer button if a post solves your problem!
