If you use the copy to csv command with a cursor that has a text field that has quotations and commas, you can end up with a csv file that cannot be opened by Excel properly.

create cursor c_test (textfld1 C(50), numfld1 N(10,2))

insert into c_test (textfld1,numfld1) values ('test test',12345.67)
insert into c_test (textfld1,numfld1) values ('test 9", test 10", test',12345.67)
insert into c_test (textfld1,numfld1) values ('test test',12345.67)


COPY TO c:\foxpro\myfile.csv TYPE CSV 

You see how that second row will take 4 columns to display in Excel instead of just 2 columns like it should?
