There's nothing that you can put in the .csv file that will help excel autofit
those columns. The .csv file is just plain old text--it doesn't contain
formatting (including columnwidth).

If your offending column is C (say), you could doubleclick on that vertical line
between the column header between C and D.

To to get all columns, hit ctrl-a (twice in xl2003) and then double click on any
of those vertical lines.

I have a command file that creates a .csv spreadsheet. The information in
some of the cells/colums are larger than the column width, so I get #####. I
know I can just go up to the format tab and correct things that way, but what
I would really like to happen is when I open the spreadsheet, all the columns
autofix automatically. Is this possible?
