Hi Gavin,
How's it goin' pal.
Nice tip. Yep there's a few gotchas with Excel.
Another one is not to use Excel to view CSV files. Use "modify command filename". Excel is sometimes too smart :-)

When I imported the file the column headings were the same as the Excel column headings but the field contents were different. I selected the entire spreadsheet in Excel and made all columns unhidden. The import then worked find. Hope someone finds this useful.
