Hi Jacque,
Thanks for the response. I'm signed on as Administrator on this box, so
I didn't think permissions would be the problem, and it was not. When I
changed the associated program for .csv files from OpenOffice to Lotus
123 it worked just great. When I use "launch document" to open .rtf and
.doc and .xls files with OpenOffice it works just fine also. It is only
when I try to open .csv files with OpenOffice that it does not work.
Either a problem with OpenOffice or the association I have set up with
.csv files.
In any case the problem was not with Rev, and thanks again for the response.
