The purpose of Custom Character Filters is to allow the user complete control over how specified characters are treated when they are exported. Custom filters only apply to character fields where quotes, field separators and record separators may exist in the data itself. The default behaviour, if no filters are defined, is to strip off field and record separators only. Quotes are left alone, as it is assumed the program that consumes the data you are exporting to ignores quotes (unless the 'Quote Character Fields' option is used). For our first example, we will edit the customer table in AlphaSports to include various quote characters, and a comma inside the data (see the 'Company' field).

The 'Classic' Export Operation has an option to export to old Excel 2003 files. The 'Classic' Export Operation only offered Excel V4 files. (You could still export to Excel 2003 using the AlphaDAO export, but this is not as fast as the 'Classic' Export). If you used the 'Classic' Export Operation to create an Excel V4.0 file, the Excel 2010 Beta release was not able to open the file. Now, using the 'MS-Excel 2003' option shown below, the exported file can be opened in Excel 2010 Beta release.
