At first I was confused by the export to file popup. I couldn't figure out what it was for so I just X'ed out of it. Then after following instructions in a previous post, all the boxes having been already ticked, I just clicked on OK and boom, it was done. with a bit of a smile I went to my documents folder and... No CSV file. at least it was not LABLED csv. just for the heck of it I click on the file and my calc program came up with all the data in the file on the screen. From there I was able to print and have a hard copy of all the data in the file which is what I was after in the first place. so many thanks to all those that offered their assistance. I finally got it through my thick skull and all is well in the world. thanks again to all.

The default for Windows is to "hide" the extension for files that are associated to an application. A CSV file would be associated to Office excel or any other spreadsheet program that you have installed on your computer so the CSV extension would not be seen. Whenever I install Windows on a computer, this is one of the first things I disable. I want to see the extensions of all or my files.
