One of the reasons I never use TranferText to do exports. :-)

If you roll your own, you can format any way you want.

Here's a DAO example (outline, aircode, so will need tweaking)

Function Quoted( PlainString) as String
  Quoted = Chr$(34) & PlainString & CHr$(34)
End Function

Function ExportQuery() as Long
Dim rs as Recordset
Dim strExport as String

Set rs= CurrentDB.OpenRecordset("myQuery")
Open "MyData.csv" for Output as #1
Do While Not rs.eof
   Print #1, Quoted(rs(0)) & "," & Quoted(rs(1) & "," _ 
                Quoted(rs(2)) & "," & Quoted(rs(3) & "," _ 
                Format(rs(4),"0.00") & "," & rs(5) & "," _
               Format(rs(6),"0.0000") 
Loop
Close #1
End Function
