I use it at work so I do not have it handy but I believe all you have to do is to open the database and export. You can make the csv selection at file type.

Cheers Dan, but all that's in File Tpye is, MS Access, MS Active Server, MS IIS 1-2 & RTF. No .csv. My brief online troubleshooting tells me I may need a .csv driver of some sort?

I am struggling to remember :) I don't do much exporting and the strain to remember is giving me a headache.... :D Is there not a box below file type for the export to work with specific specific program? If so check there.

aha, just noticed not all file types are installed on setup. I'll look for this on office setup. Cheers
