Dear Mr. O'Connor,
if you don't want to export the 3d-table to another
program, use DumpSave. To the best of my knowledge this
is faster than saving it in ASCII.

If you have to write it to an ASCII file, simply
transform the 3d-table to a matrix by
	t2d=Flatten[t3d,1]
then export it to a file.
If you want to recover t3d from t2d, use
Partition[t2d,Dimensions[t3d][[2]]].

Thus you have to remember (or save) the dimension of the second
level of t3d.

Example: 
t3d = Table[Random[],{4},{3},{2}];
dimlev2 = Dimensions[t3d][[2]];

Export[path,Flatten[t3d,1],"Table"];

t3dClone = Partition[Import[path,"Table"],dimlev2];

verify this by typing
t3dClone == t3d

Best regards,
	Johannes
