Default Exporting to .txt converts single quotes to double quotes

Hi All

Im making a module that will create a new spreadsheet, populate it with some
fixed and variable values and save it as a text file. Unfortunately excel
2007 is saving the following line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-885h9-1" ?

as

"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""ISO-885h9-1"" ?"

when I open it in wordpad. I have tried coding this line as

= "<?xml version=" & Chr(34) & "1.0" & Chr(34) & " encoding=" & Chr(34) &
"ISO-885h9-1" & Chr(34) & " ?"

and

= "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""ISO-8859-1"" ?"

and it looks fine in the spreadsheet its in, but always bad when it gets to
the .txt file. I also tried separating into separate cells and formatting the
cell as text. Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks a lot
Andrew
