Tom, thanks for the follow up. i'm hoping to transfer
my db in house running PHP 5 anf PGSQL 8 within a
couple weeks.
i did try tab delimited from openoffice.org. when i
opened the file, though, there was a character
inserted in lieu of the tab space. i think it was a
small vertical rectangle.
should i have opened the file and seen data separated
by actual tabs? i'm wondering if OOO.org is inserting
a character for the tabs and 7.4 is choking on the
unexpected character.
tia...
