Since you haven't posted the code that's producing the CSV, it's difficult to know why you're using 'Write #1' instead of 'Print #1' - which wouldn't add the quotes. Obviously, not using methods that add the quotes is preferable to adding them, then having to remove them.

Regardless, I've also told you how you can remove them.
