without quotation marks?
 

Hi, I need to save my file which contains a column that contains a number
with quotation marks. My attempts so far at saving a comma delimited file
produces 3 quotation marks intsead of my original 1 on each side of the
number. In excel it appears as "5123" but after I save to comma delimited
it appears as """5123""". Any thoughts on how to save just the single
quotations?

I would think writing a macro to export the data exactly the way you want it
would be the way to go:

Some samples:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:
www.smokeylake.com/excel
(or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm)

Chip Pearson's:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/imptext.htm

J.E. McGimpsey's:
http://www.mcgimpsey.com/excel/textfiles.html

Earl's program has a supports lots of different options. You may want to see if
that works for you right out of the box.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
