How eliminate quotes surrounding textfile text field

edited July 2008 in General
I have a report that prints a single calculated field, the contents of which
are calculated to be something like:

9999999,555-555-5555,"Jones, Joe",143.50,1508.34

The problem I'm having is that the output is placing double quotes around
the entire string, like so:

"9999999,555-555-5555,"Jones, Joe",143.50,1508.34"

The quotes do not show up in displayed output, only when printed to a
textfile. They also don't show up when printed to a ReportTextFile.

I cannot seem to figure out a way to remove these quotes. If anyone knows
how to do this, please help.

Thanks!!!

    Figured it out. I needed to set the TextFileType property to tab.
