Throwing this one out to the collective wisdom. We're doing a lot with CSV import/experts these days with our web-based WWC application and are running into issues with regionalization. Here in the US, a "standard" CSV means commas between data elements and double quotes around text elements. But in Belgium, the delimiter is the semi-colon and text elements are not wrapped in double quotes. As best I can tell, Excel determines what format to use by the OS settings and not its own application settings. This makes importing from a CSV a bit of a dance for our Belgian clients as they have to change their regional settings, import the file that was received in US format, and then change their settings back. And, of course, changing region affects date and currency formats. For those of you working with clients from multiple locations where the standards may be different, what strategies do you use to deal with this?
