[Rocky Smolin]

Stuart:

Won't that have the effect of the email address in the spreadsheet having an
apostrophe in the first position?

It's a long term  Excel "feature".

You probably have the Autoformat optione turned off in Exccel while the
cilent has it turned on.

Suggest you try using the  option of prepending an apostrophe to that field
inr your export query.
