Disable formatting on csv open?
Hi! When opening a csv file in 2003, Excel "formats" the data - it coverts one field that is text but looks suspiciously like a date to a date field. Is there a way to disable this or set Excel to open the file with all fields formatted for text? Thanks!

The easiest way is to rename the file to .txt instead of .csv, then the text import wizard allows you to select the format for each column. -- David Biddulph |
