Default Open CSV file in excel

At work we finally upgraded to Excel 2003 from Excel 2002. Previously when I
opened a CSV file it automatically converted the data into a table. Now I
have to run the Text Import Wizard...any suggestions on how I have it setup
to automatically open CSV files in a table?

Default Open CSV file in excel

First thing I'd check is that the windows list separator matches the character
that is used in the .csv file to separate the fields.

Close excel
windows start button|settings|control panel|Regional and language options

Click the customize button
Numbers Tab
List separator

Make sure it matches your data.
