Default excel error

Thanks but I have gotten a few to open in the past. i also have friends who
only have the viewer and they can open them. Someone else told me to change
the extension to .xls but that didn't work for me though it does for them.

The free Excel Viewer can read Excel files only.

You need a full-blown version of Excel to open/save *.csv files.
