Whenever I download a CSV file, whether I Save it or Open it I get an error
message that "Microsoft Excel Viewer cannot read files of this type"

The free Excel Viewer can read Excel files only.

You need a full-blown version of Excel to open/save *.csv files.

Thanks but I have gotten a few to open in the past. i also have friends who
only have the viewer and they can open them. Someone else told me to change
the extension to .xls but that didn't work for me though it does for them.

I cannot get the Viewer 2003 version to open a *.csv file

I have no help for this post.

Perhaps your friends could show you how they open the *.csv files.

Hi,

For more information, please refer to "Formatting and features that are not
transferred in Excel file format conversions" in the online help of Microsoft
Excel 2003.
