That's even better... You'll have to configure each PC to open .CSV with Excel, but personally I think having .CSV as the extension is much nicer.

Thanks Scott. I tried this and the .xls opened in Excel but I had to do the
conversion within Excel to see the data properly. On the other hand, when I
renamed it to .csv, it opened in Excel perfectly. (Maybe because my system
is set to open .csv with Excel).
