Well, I can, in fact, see it. In fact, I can copy it and the content all
shows up. I can paste it into Word and the data is there; same with pasting
into Excel. The "Open" command in Excel does not offer me a CSV option,
although (as you know, I'm certain) it does offer XMP and other formats.
Again, all of the MS help material says CSV and Excel are compatible.
Mystifying. Not sure how you might suggest I download it (no FTP available
at the remote site (plus the only two format available, as I said, are QIF
and CSV). Your suggestions will, I can assure you, be more than welcome.
Cheers!

More detail (so I look not entirely foolish). The file at issue is an
export file from a brokerage house (remote via the Internet from my
machine). Their "export" offers two formats: QIF or CSV, I want to
manipulate their "exported data" so I need the CSV version. If I try
to paste the file onto my machine, nada. If I put their file into
word, it will not load. They claim they can "paste" the file into
Excel 2003. A four day search for a solution (hence, this query in
the user group). Cheers


Can you see the CSV-file at the remote location?
Then you should be possible to download it.

Or is it just a view of the file's contents on the screen?
