Fix:  

By design, the text qualifiers only appear when the text in a field contains the deliminator. In a CSV file, the deliminator is a comma.  


In the example output of the activity status report, if Activity D2010 was called ‘Prepare Design Services Proposal, review’, it would contain a comma and so require text qualifiers.
