Hi all.

Is there a setting in Excel 2000 that can be changed to prevent it altering
the contents of cells when opening a csv file please?

I have files I create in notepad which list times and mixes of gas for
diving.  It will take 0130 and drop the first 0 so it now becomes 130 and is
no longer recognisable as a time.  Another is the gas blend written as
10/50.  For this it will assume it is a date and replace the cell contents
with Oct 50.

I am getting increasingly frustrated with this as when you save the csv file
from Excel it also saves the changes it has decided to make.

Any ideas gratefully accepted!
