FIX: Quotation marks are rendered incorrectly when you export a SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services report to a .csv file

In a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services report, a text field contains quotation marks ("). When you export the report to a .csv file, you find that the quotation marks are not rendered correctly. For example, the field is ABC ". After you export the report to a .csv file, the field should be rendered as "ABC """ in the .csv file. However, the field is rendered as "ABC"".

Additionally, if you open the .csv file in Microsoft Office Excel, the value of the next field is appended incorrectly to the cell of the text field.

Note This issue does not occur in SQL Server 2005.
