Hi Frank,

I've just tried that and that's not the solution. As I said, when I
double click on a .csv in a file explorer it opens in Excel
automatically anyway. It's just when I try in-place activation in IE
that it's opened as plain text. In-place activation of a .xls file open
Excel with IE - and that's what I'd like to achieve with .csv files.
I'm using IE6.

I guess I don't know enough about Excel to help.
