Opening Excel in Europe

(I am located in the US) I have a web application that allows the user to export data into a Microsoft Excel file. When one of the clients (located in Europe) opens the file, they say that all/most special characters ($, accents, etc) get jumbled, so they say. I'm assuming it's not being translated correctly. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Are you using some sort of sendkeys? It usually messes up things majorly when I run it on French regional settings. Can you post parts of your app so we can have a little more insight into the issue?
