Has any one noticed that any reports that you try to generate in CSV format never come out correctly because data is separated by ; (semi colon) instead of , (comma) . Does anyone have a fix for this?
We don't use CSV export, but AFAIK the semicolon is a common delimiter for CSV files (the most common one being the comma). Usually you set the delimiter when importing data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values says: "CSV is one implementation of a delimited text file, which uses a comma to separate values (where many implementations of CSV import/export tools allow an alternate separator to be used; as is shown in the MS Access screen shot, below)."
