Hi Murray,
I tried you suggestion, but with negative result. There it is:

first test
conv[n_] := NumberForm[n, NumberPoint -> ","];
data = {{1.1, 1.2}, {2.1, 2.2}};
conv /@ data
I Get this that is ok!
{{1,1,1,2},{2,1,2,2}}

when I try to export using:
Export["~/Desktop/file.txt", conv /@ data, "TSV"]

I get this as the file content
NumberForm[{1.1,1.2},NumberPoint->","]
NumberForm[{2.1,2.2},NumberPoint->","]

some clue?
tks in advance
Murta
