You can use the wizard in Excel to create a macro to change the file type and then call the macro whenever Excel is started up. Or you can use Automation to change the file type whenever Excel (or any Automation-aware application) is started.

Our UV system creates an ASCII .csv file for another system to import on a daily basis. The 3rd party software after a recent upgrade now only imports .xls files. Is there an easy way to "automate" Excel to load the .csv, then save as .xls? Or how much more difficult is it to create the .xls instead of a .csv? I thought about getting one of those programs that records mouse clicks, and create a macro of the conversion (since the filename is the same each day), but wonder if there was something we could do in a batch file and run every day under the Windows scheduler.
