Hello,

I provide end-user support. I currently have a case where the Excel is
opening a text file differently. We pushed out patches last Monday which is
when the change occurred. Not seeing how this may have affected the user.
He appears to be the only person affected. Others in his group did not
install the patch and nothing has changed.

From an Explorer window, user right-clicks on text file and chooses "Open
With...".
Excel used to open and load the text file and each row in column A.

Now, opening the file the same way, Excel loads and formats the text file in
multiple columns. If the text import wizard is actually doing this, it is
running in the background with no dialog being displayed.

User prefers the origina method where everything is in 1 column. Is there a
way to control how Excel opens/loads/formats text files? Any idea if
MS08-014 has changed the behavior?

TIA,

Rich
