Empty First Column after exporting in CSV file

[alectek]

Hi!
I founded a lot of treads about exporting Crystal reports in to CSV files, but didn’t find any help with my problem.
I’m working w/CR10 and MS Office 2003 Professional Edition.
Created a simple report ready to export in CSV file by adding couple of fields in empty text box with “,” separated.
Then I’m exporting in CSV file.
When I open the file in Excel, it is always one extra empty first column. What do I do wrong?
Thanks.
Alec.


Thanks.

Why are you using a text box?

Anyway, make sure that whatever you use is all the way over to the left.

Synapsevampire,

I'm using text box, because I think it is the best way create flat file with the fields with different data type:
Date, Number, Text.
Please help me out if I'm wrong with this method.

I'm sure the file started from the "very left".



Thanks.
Alec.
