Re: [PLUG] Text file to Excel, automated


Don't send an attachment! Put the CSV file (as others have is "natively" 
by OO and Excel) on a webserver/ftpserver and provide them with a link.

On a slightly different not, Excel and OpenOffice can accept a filename 
which is actually a URL, try one of these CSV files for a test
