I have a form with about 200 fields (word 2000). How to prevent a user from
entering double quotes in a text field, because save data only and importing
the resulting textfile will fail if an extra double quote is in the text
field. If this is not possible, can I change the export data only converter
to have another text delimiter as double quote.

Hi ?B?UGV0ZXIgVGh5cw==?=,

I have a form with about 200 fields (word 2000). How to prevent a user from
entering double quotes in a text field, because save data only and importing
the resulting textfile will fail if an extra double quote is in the text
field. If this is not possible, can I change the export data only converter
to have another text delimiter as double quote.

The only possibility here would be a macro. Either one that fires when the user
exits a field that checks the field for double quotes. Or one that fires when
the user saves (checks all fields for double quotes). Or use a macro to extract
the data, instead of relying on the "save data only" option.
