RE: CA TRANSFER OF CSV,BAI OR XLS FILES (& KEYVIEW)

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What are you using to upload the file?  Depending on the file transfer
utility, you have several options.
Client Access and others will handle csv files.  If you go to some trouble
in Excel you can convert the csv to prn(fixed length text) which ought to
work with just about anything.
