How to Stop Explorer from Opening Online Excel Files
I am downloading a CSV file into Excel from a web page that automatically
creates the CSV file. Before my update to Office XP, the file would automatically download into an Excel spreadsheet using the Actual Excel program now it uses a Internet Explorer Window that looks like but really isn't the Excel program. For one thing when you save the file as XLS the old CSVfile is still there on the screen. And you have to open Excel to open the file. Wasted steps as far as I am concerned. I don't like this "improvement" and how do I get rid of it? I am using Internet Explorere version 6 and do not have the option of upgrading as I am in a corporate enviroment. |

You have to associate the .csv file with Excel.
Save the file to a directory, then right-click and select Open With... and choose Excel. Then try to download the CSV file from the web site again, and it should open in Excel.

I should have mentioned this, the file is already associated as an Excel
file. But thanks. "Dave F" wrote: You have to associate the .csv file with Excel. Save the file to a directory, then right-click and select Open With... and choose Excel.
