OK, two things still need to be fleshed out: Custom field formatting - I have been looking at the formatting information created by the export wizard. They use: DateDelim DateFourDigitYear DateLeadingZeros (what is this?) DateOrder (yyyymmdd kind of thing) DecimalPoint FieldSeparator TextDelim TimeDelim I have questions about placing the delimiting characters in the field. Has anyone run into cases where the delimiter changes from field to field? The other big thing remaining is what the header / footer records look like and how to handle them. If they are just delimited data similar to any other delimited data, then I would suggest that we simply use the existing functionality, treat them like any other export spec, but figure out a means of specifying that a specific export is the header or footer of another export spec.
