Hi Bill,

Thank you for giving feedback.

My question was: the Microsoft Office Excel message in step 03 appears in the
background instead of in the foreground. What might be the reason for this
and how could we please solve this issue?

We have solved this issue by doing the following actions:
Control Panel - Folder Options - File Types - select the extension "xls" -
push the Advanced button - select the action "New" - activate the flag
"Browse in same window".

Kind Regards,
Gaston

The file type mentioned in this message is
Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet,


I think the clue lies in those 2 lines.
If the file is a tab delimited text file but has an xls extension it is not
surprising that you get the message:
The file you are trying to open, [Filename], is in a different format than
specified by the file extension.


I would think that you need to change the file extension used to be .txt or
.prn

(I am not expert in web page links so I can't help you to achieve that; you
could seek help in a forum that specialises in web page design).
