When I open a .csv file with Excel 2002, SP3, I see:

=quot;2005-10-20quot;

in the fomula bar when I am on cell B2. A different user of the same file,
running the same version of Excel sees:

2005-10-20

in the formula bar of cell B2.

Why the difference ?

Thanks !!

Before I'd guess, I'd like to know what's actually in the .CSV file.

If you open the .csv file in NotePad, what do you see?

When I opened the file with notepad, I saw:

=quot;2005-10-20quot;

which makes me wonder if the other person I talked to misunderstood me, and
didn't look at the file the same way I did. I'll have to talk with them some
more. Since the csv file is a system generated one, I may be able to get our
MIS group to modify the file, or create a separate one just for my use.

Thanks.
