      have your data as comma seperated values each row seperated by newline adn then jsut give the file .csv extension. That's how I used to do it.

          To communicate with Excel, you can use its ODBC driver, or Excel automation.

          CFileDialog has nothing to do with how the data is saved. It is for filename selection only.

              There must be at least dozen ways to write a file. I suppose if you want something MFC there is CFile or CStdioFile? Perhaps even this http://www.codeproject.com/file/stdiofileex.asp#xx1295590xx[^] if you want some unicode support.

                      Which implies that m_Make, m_Model, m_Year, m_Mileage, and m_Owner have an odd character in them. Yes?

                          Unicodedness of your program without writing the unicode-header? A decent file editor (as opposed to a CEdit-gone-application like notepad) like Ultraedit would show it.


                          "We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganised. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganising: and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress, while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation." -- Caius Petronius, Roman Consul, 66 A.D.
