Hi,

I have a text file. But the file has no file extention.

Problem = when I open in excel it displays different information based on
how it is opened.

Open method 1 = drag the file into an open excel worksheet.
Open method 2 = in excel go to file open and then open the file.

method 2 displays more rows

Does anyone know why this happens?

thanks for youir help

Not knowing anything about the file, I am not going to get involved in the
why and wherefore. I suggest you rename the file to a .csv, or a .txt, and
then open it from Excel. This will invoke the import wizard, and you can
then set your fields as you wish, and get all the data from the file into
Excel.
