Exporting to Excel with Unicode data

Hi
I'm trying to get the datagrid to excel export working. I've used the usual
code examples that are floating around and it all works fine.
The only problem is that I have multiple languages in the datagrid (one of
them being Greek).
When I open the exported Excel file in Excel, I get weird characters in some
places - umlauts(?) in German as an example.
I need to then go to the Excel Options and choose to re-open the file as
Unicode and then the file displays correctly.

Obviously I can't ask every user to do this - does anyone have any solution
for this?

Regards,
Bernard
