You don't say what version of FileMaker, but try exporting as a "Merge"
format file (use the filename extension .csv).

A Merge file is exactly the same as CSV, but does include the Field
names as the first row (although any spaces in the Field names are
converted to _ characters).

Since CSV is Comma Separated Values, you files will look like this when
opened in a tetx editor or word processor:

"Last_Name","First_Name"
"AAAA","SSS"
"BBBB","RTR"
"CCCC","TTT"

a) create a record that contains the field names and make sure it's the
first one

b) export to excel, open with a software that reads excel format and
save to csv from there.

Later versions allow you to save the current layout and records as Excel and
cplumn titles are included
