Re: Export to Excel

Instead of the comma-separated suggestions mentioned in other posts, I'd recommend using a tab-separated file so that you don't have any confusion for entries such as addresses that might look like "Seattle, WA". The other reason is that it's *really* hard to enter a TAB in an HTML form so it's just nicer. The other thing to look out for is TEXTAREA inputs where people have entered newlines. You'll need to convert those back to spaces before exporting otherwise the file won't be one record per line.
