Hi Jim
Slightly OT, hope big john does not mind, but I have often wondered with
the xport of the AB, as it is exported and saved in the format of an
excel sheet, what if one does not have Excel but say Open Office or just
MS Works, would it save it to the equivalent type of format found in
those applications?

Any program that can open a CSV file should open it correctly and they can
always use Notepad to open an CSV file if they need the raw data. Excel
uses XLS as its default file extension when saving files.
