A common problem with CSV generated by any Microsoft program is that each
field will be enclosed in quotation marks if the field's data contains a
comma. This can throw off some other tools. Can you export in
tab-delimited? Or export as CSV, load that file into Excel, and then export
from Excel to tab-delimited, and then import to Claris.
