But that is what I am saying.  If you use the data transfer program that
comes with Client Access, it DOES correctly download into Excel.

The problem was, he wasn't using that.  He was using the export utility of a
different program and it fubared it.  That was my whole point.  It CAN be
done, but the program he was using, Survey/400,  was doing it wrong and it
is actually a bug of that program, not the fault of Microsoft.
