If you do not need to save data from memo fields and if the program(s) that will read your .csv file can handle the dates in that format then that's all you need. If you need to include data from memo fields or if you want a different date format it gets more complicated.  There is code in the dUFLP to do this but let's cross this bridge only if it's necessary.
