I've posted this in the Excel forum but thought someone here may be able to
help.
I need to write unicode csv files from a dotnet application to be opened in
Excel.
I can write the files OK by setting
Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode
but when I try & open them in Excel it says 'The file is not in a
recognizable format'.
I haven't been able to see any settings to change the acceptable formats.
Anyone any ideas as to how this can be done?

Thanks,

John

It would be safer to try some other format (for instgance xml)
