enclosing csv fields in quotes

[Tim Cowan]

Hi

I am trying to create a CSV file with some fields in double quotes ("). I am
not having any luck.

This is what I want;

"8684","COSTING","000010001","REG",X4,15.00, ,14,0,14,9,6

I am not sure how to create the double quotes. The ASP is this;

strTemp = rsCAExport.Fields("Employer Number") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Import Type ID") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Employee Number") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Cheque Type") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Code") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Value") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Distribution") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Rate") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Premium") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Day") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Pay Period") & "," & _
rsCAExport.Fields("Batch ID") & VBCrLf

Can anyone help?

Thanks

maybe something like this (untested):

strTemp = quoteField(rsCAExport.Fields("Employer Number")) & "," & _
quoteField(rsCAExport.Fields("Import Type ID")) & "," & _
function quoteField(sField)
quoteField="""" & sField & """"
end function

Write the data in plain text to the browser window, and the user can
save the results as a plain text file and then import the data into
Excel or whatever application they want.
