[chirp_users] Csv files

At first I was confused by the export to file popup. I couldn't figure out
what it was for so I just X'ed out of it. Then after following instructions
in a previous post, all the boxes having been already ticked, I just
clicked on OK and boom, it was done. with a bit of a smile I went to my
documents folder and... No CSV file. at least it was not LABLED csv. just
for the heck of it I click on the file and my calc program came up with all
the data in the file on the screen. From there I was able to print and have
a hard copy of all the data in the file which is what I was after in the
first place. so many thanks to all those that offered their assistance. I
finally got it through my thick skull and all is well in the world. thanks
again to all.

These are the instructions I tried to use to create the CSV file for printing. my OS is Windows Vista running on my laptop. Everything about chirp seems to be running perfectly except for that one function.

I read somewhere that you can convert the image to a CSV file in order to print out a hard copy of what is in the memories. that is what I was trying to do. I did run a Windows Search for the CSV file and it came up empty so I don't know what is happening to it.
