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 -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk HIS "Mario Colon" wrote in message ...

Have you tried associating your *.ube extension with Excel? Does it work as a csv? -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk HIS "Mario Colon" wrote in message ... 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?
