Crystal - Export as CSV

Hi there,

I have a report that I am trying to export as csv but as would be expected, all details are coming out in one line.  Does anyone know a work-around using crystal 11?

My report has two groups and the access database file I am using to create the report is also linked to an excel file.  I have tried all of the options available on export.  Right now it looks like I should export to excel, open the file and then save as csv there.

Thanks in advance for your help,
CS

Hi there,

Let me get some details together for a better understanding - I don't think this can be done given all that I have tried this point but just in case,

Thank you -

Hi there,

All solutions assisted - csv is not a format that allows for modification.  I couldn't export to text  because of the grouping but I realize that this avenue is essentially closed to what I want to do.

Thank you-
CS
FWIW ...

 I don't know why the grouping would be an issue, but it might be possible to export to text, but use a formula to combine fields into a single string, separated by commas.  That way you could get a CSV formatted export, but with more control over the format.  That's why I asked if the report was only going to be exported, or if it could also be viewed/printed (you'd probably want the viewed/printed report to have a more "normal" format).
