    <p>The problem is not the exporting itself but how it separates the fields with comma's and I have commas in the fields. All works fine until it gets to the last field where the string contains a comma, it delimits it</p> <p>My code:</p> <pre><code> foreach (var item in jobSortedReportData) { sb.Append("\"").Append(item.Title).Append("\",\"").Append(item.Total).Append("\",\"").Append(item.Week6).Append("\",\"").Append(item.Week5).Append("\",\"").Append(item.Week4).Append("\",\"").Append(item.Week3).Append("\",\"").Append(item.Week2).Append("\",").Append(item.Week1).Append(Environment.NewLine); } byte[] textBytes2 = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(sb.ToString()); </code></pre> <p>the output this generates:</p> <pre><code> Number 1 Job Search 0 **Bathroom Fitter, Plumbing: 100** Carpenter, Joinery: 99 Carpenter, Joinery: 81 Carpenter, Joinery: 209 Electrician, Domestic Electrical: 495 **Bathroom Fitter Plumbing: 112** Number 2 Job Search 0 Carpenter, Joinery: 97 Bathroom Fitter, Plumbing: 99 Bathroom Fitter, Plumbing: 79 Bathroom Fitter, Plumbing: 150 Bathroom Fitter, Plumbing: 453 Builder Window Installation: 75 Number 3 Job Search 0 Builder, Window Installation: 85 Building Contractor, Kitchen Fitting: 97 Plumber, Bathroom Fitting: 51 Builder, Window Installation: 134 Heating Engineer, Gas Installation: 451 Bathroom Fitter Bathroom Fitting: 74 </code></pre> <p>raw view:</p> <pre><code>"Number 3 Job Search","0","Builder, Window Installation: 85","Building Contractor, Kitchen Fitting: 97","Plumber, Bathroom Fitting: 51","Builder, Window Installation: 134","Heating Engineer, Gas Installation: 451",Bathroom Fitter, Bathroom Fitting: 74 "Number 1 Tradesmen Search","0","Painter &amp; Decorator: 316","Painter &amp; Decorator: 229","Painter &amp; Decorator: 146","Builder: 324","TV Aerials &amp; In-home Entertainment Installer: 1378",Electrician: 247 "Number 2 Tradesmen Search","0","Builder: 171","Builder: 191","Plumber: 114","Plumber: 295","Builder: 551",Builder: 205 "Number 3 Tradesmen Search","0","Plumber: 123","Plumber: 160","Builder: 108","Painter &amp; Decorator: 231","Domestic Electrical: 495",Painter &amp; Decorator: 160 </code></pre> <p>In the above, <code>"Bathroom Fitter, Plumbing: 100"</code> in the 3rd column contains a <code>,</code> but it keeps the whole string in one excel field. When it comes to the last column <code>"Bathroom Fitter Plumbing: 112"</code> there is a <code>,</code> in the string between <em>Fitter</em> and <em>Plumbing</em>, so what happens now is this , is seen as a separator so when in excel it split this in <strong>TWO</strong> cells, thus I have <code>Bathroom Fitter</code> in one cell and <code>Plumbing:112</code> in the next. The whole string should be in ONE cell. It does this only on the last column?? please help me correct this.</p> <p>Thanks</p>

    2. COFirst of all, add @ in front of your strings (like @"\"), it tells the string constructor to ignore escape characters.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
