Here's the deal... I have an equipment push list that my rental team maintains. Works great, but they want to be able to send the list as an Excel file. So I have two questions as to how this would work:

1 - How can I export parts of my database as a CSV file? I saw this extension, but it does not seem to work on Mac OS X - www.basic-ultradev.com/articles/DownloadRepeatRegion/index.html

2 - If the rental catalog has parts with a comma already in the text, how will it be parsed by Excel? Am I screwed in that regard? Should I use tab delimitation instead, and if so, how?

Thanks guys - n- gals!
