Well Bryan, the light went on, and of course the solution was simple. After
exporting the data to a text file I was able to do a replace function (i.e.,
replace " with (blank). This did not affect my delimiter and I could not
import to my database (last name, first name) without a problem. Thanks for
your help, and I hope this note helps someone else. --Carlos Navarro

Avoid special characters and you should avoid the quotes.
