csv file creation - output contains comma - work around?

Greetings,

Question is:

Is there a way to get around database information containing commas

when creating csv files?

I have the process down for creating a .csv file and storing to the server and

or e-mailing it out. The problem I have, is that one of the db fields being pulled

from the database has a comma in it and thus causes problems for me in

creating the csv file.

DB fields:

-- emp_number

-- emp_name (last_name, first_name)

-- activity_code

-- report_date

-- time_total

When the file is created it recognizes the comma in the emp_name field

and separates the last name and the first name and creates separate

columns for them in the csv file which do not match up with the db field

names in row 1 of the csv.

I have already searched the forum to see if this was asked before. Either

my eyes are too crossed from all the reading or i am not entering the

appropriate search criteria.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Leonard
