     my guess is that the db has a separate table with company name and other
     info, and the "number" you're seeing in the export is the company table's
     primary key (as a foreign key in the general table).
     
     you need to identify the source of the company name that you're used to
     seeing in the database. suggest you check the Relationships window to see if
     a relationship is defined on that "number" field. or you can check any form
     that has a combo box that lists the company name, to see what table is used
     in the combo box's record source.
     
     once you identify the table that holds the company names, create a query,
     and link the general table and company table on the company table's primary
     key field and the general table's "company" (number) field. then select the
     fields you want to export, including the actual company name from the linked
     table. you can then export the query object.
