I have a macro that opens a CSV file. The problem is that it
recognizes text fields containing slashes as dates, which I do not
want.

I have searched for a solution with Google, but none of them seem to
work. I tried from the Excel menu importing CSV files as external
data using General and then Text format, but this did not work. I
tried changing the file extension to .vcs or .txt and then importing.
This did not work with either General nor Text form.

Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem?

I am using Excel 2003. I also have 2007.

Thanks, Alan
