Open file as a CSV
 
Hi All.

I have a few files that are being saved down as .UBE extensions, but they
are really comma delimited files. Is there a way to have the .UBE associated
so that Excel will open and parse the file like it does with a .CSV? I can
get it so that Excel opens the file, butit does not parse it.... any ideas?

I know the easiest way is to simply rename the files, but in this case I
have users everywhere that would have trouble doing that, and I want to find
an easier way for them.

Thanks,
Mario

Why not record a macro importing the file using comma as a delimiter and
then just use this each time

We have a few hundred people that would use this functionality and I was
hoping to be able to push this out through the registry. So there is no way
to associate another extension to do what a .CSV extgension does?

Have you tried associating your *.ube extension with Excel? Does it work as
a csv?
