Opening a .csv file in Excel 2000

I know that I have done this in the past. I am trying to
open a .csv file into Excel. I found something once about
a converter option or something and then I could open it.
I get a "xxx.csv cannot be accessed. The file may be
read-only, or you may be trying to access a read-only
location..."

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I've seen posts that describe the same problem with opening .csv files when they
reside on a network drive.

I've never seen a good answer (well, that I recall).

One work around is to copy the .csv file to a local harddrive and open from
there.

If your file isn't on a network drive, maybe reregistering excel would help:

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets the windows registry to excel's
factory defaults.

(Maybe this'll work for the network drive, too--but not too confident.)
