Remove Text Qualifier from ONE field

I have a field with a Number data type, Double field size and Auto
decimal places.

The values of this field should have 3 digits to the right of the
decimal place. For example, 123456.123

I have used the following expression in my query to ensure all 3
decimal places show to the right of the decimal,
Expr2:Format([AdminFTE],"0.000")

Is there a way in which I can export comma delimited text files from my
MS Access queries containing the values for this field but WITHOUT the
text qualifier (") around the values for this field, ONLY?

That is, remove the text qualifier from the values of this field only.

Thanks,

I believe the Format() function always returns a string but you can use CSng()
or CDbl() functions to coerce it back to a number.

BTW, if you convert back to a number then any leading and trailing zeros will
go away.
