am having trouble exporting .xls files to .txt file format. The recipient
cannot import the data into his database because it contains 'tabs' between
the data fields. I have tried saving the .xls file as 'Unicode text' and
'space separated text' but the tabs still remain. How can I export the file
and be sure that no tabs will be exported too?

Pallid,

Use a macro to create the output. The quotes were put there to prevent the string being broken into
three cells, based on the commas.

Visit

for an example of how to export to a text file.

I am exporting Excel worksheets to text files. Currently data like this:
RGB(0, 0, 255)
is placed in quotes when I export. I need to prevent the insertion of the
quotations. How do I do this?
