Default Open CSV In One Column or Multiple Columns?

I have Excel 2003, and when I open a CSV file, all of the data is in column
A. However, there is another user that opens a CSV file, and instead of the
data appearing in column A, Excel puts the data into the respective columns
(knowing that the comma separates the fields).

We have experimented with data import, wizards, and open, and no matter
what, even though we both follow each step exactly the same, I always have
the data in column A, and the user gets the data in mutiple columns.

I have checked both of our computer settings - start,control panel,regional
& lang options,regional options,customize - and we both have comma in the
list separator box.

I am trying to figure out how I can get a consistant result, or to know how
to control the result. Anyone know?
