I have an application that exports data in CSV fromat to my Desktop or
wherever I want. When I open it, I want it to be formatted already (columns,
rows, etc.). I will be doing this almost daily or every-other day.

The Data Connection Wizard doesn't seem to apply, and it's not XML or SQL so
I'm not sure what I can do.

You could record a macro, storing it in your personal macro workbook.

Try to select entire rows and columns while recording so your steps will
work on any number of rows.

Thanks, that seems to do what I need. Next question: I worked it out on my
workstation. How can I take the macro to another person's workstation so I
don't have to do it all over again?
