Hi
Love the program - just getting my head around it. In typical newbie style I managed to crash it...
Trying to export to a CSV after creating a new export template with commas instead semi-colons, I exported to the same file which was already open in Excel. Crash!

You must close CSV file (Excel) before exporting the new file.
