Now, what I'm doing is outputting that to a CSV fromatted file and using CGI's redirect method to send my browser to my newly created file. Very neat. Except that excel opens up embedded into my IE (when I do "open from current location") and the CSV data gets placed into the first field in excel. If I save the file to disk and then go double click on it, the file is normal, each field is in it's own field. I've tried semi colon separated, commas, periods, happy faces.. nothing... Still, if I open from current location, everything gets shoved into the first field in excel. Can this be done or am I stuck with microsoft's infinite wisdom?? Thanks very much in advance!
