Displaying CSV Files

[HBrothers]

We have an intranet application which, on command, sends a .csv file to the
browser.
All users have Windows XP sp1 and all have IE 6 and all have Office 2002
sp3.

If the user selects "Open" from the "Open/Save/Cancel" dialog, the .csv file
displays in Excel.
However, on some computers, the spreadsheet shows up inside the browser; on
others, Excel opens and displays the file. What setting controls this
behavior?

TIA

Hi,
This might require a simple tweak in File Types> CSV, XLS or perhaps a
registry edit.
See: 162059 - How to Configure Internet Explorer to Open Office Documents in
the Appropriate Office Program Instead of in IE:

Hope this helps,
Don
