------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Feb 13 09:39:05 -0800 2005 ------- A tsv file extension file can not be forced to open in scalc. This has been tried on OOO 1.1.2, 1.1.4 and also in the latest 1.9.x build of openoffice. I have created a flat file with the following data separated by tabs test test test test named the file test.tsv and when u associate the tsv file extension with scalc, it always openes up in writer. Comparative behaviour in Microsoft office is once I associate the file with excel, the file openes up in excel not in word. The problem was noticed in Windows 2000, Windows XP ( SP1), WIndows XP (SP2) and fedora core 3. If i rename the file extension to csv the file opens up in scalc as it should. The problem was noticed because Oracle Applications exports the files from its interface with a .tsv file extension, and openoffice was being evaluated for installation instead of Microsoft Office. This happens even if I open scalc and the use file --> open to open the test.tsv file, it opens up in writer. There seems to be no way to force scalc to open this file. Let me know if there are any additional details required. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
