Hey Peter,
I'm *so* sorry for not responding sooner.
Sure, no problem! Would it be possible to post your entire Export Type smarty markup? I'd like to take a look at it and compare it with what I have to make sure we're working off the same code. This is found at this page: Modules -> Export Manager -> Edit Export Group -> Export Types tab -> Edit Export Type.
I wonder if this is related to the headers being sent for that export group? Edit the Excel Export Group in the Export Manager module and look at the first tab. Take a look in the headers section (and possibly as a meta tag in the Smarty markup). If memory serves, there's a header there telling it to dole up the info as UTF-8. Hmm... I like the fact that it's customizable, but it's not the most user-friendly thing ever... perhaps a dropdown to define the charset?

<GLOBAL_UPLOAD_URL>/<FILENAME>has to be created. Please can anyone help how this can be done?
