setting text qualifier in Excel

G

Guest

I am trying to save an Excel spreadsheet as a .csv file. My problem is that
to import this file into a specific database, it needs both comma separators
(which I have) AND double quotes as text qualifiers for each field. I open
the file in Notepad, and after saving with every available .csv format, the
fields do not have quotes as qualifiers. Any ideas? Is this something I
need to import and export through Access to add that option or is there a way
to do this right from Excel? I have no problem opening a CSV file with
quotes as text qualifiers, but it even -resaves those files without the text
qualifier. I have tried this in both Excel 2000 and Excel 2003, same result
with each. Thanks for any input!
