I am using CR8.5 SP3 and Access 97. I am creating a report that has database field separated by comma it has 23 columns.
I run this report from a different application that uses CR8.5 engine. I export that report into text format and works fine at my PC.

But I don't get the same results on a different PC.

My fonts in CRW 8.5 are set up as Arial, will this make a difference.

I need to create CSV files.
 
I solved the problem. I changed the fonts to Arial (Western) to Courier and the output was fine.

Before the change there were results like if I was entering carriage returns in the file. In fact, the arial fonts were not properly formatting.

Here is the tip, when creating csv export files always use courier fonts.
