I have an accounting software program that produces all files as .txt files. Before upgrading to Excel 16, I was able to choose Excel as the program to open those files. With Excel 16, I have not been able to make that choice. I've searched for a solution and made the following changes as others have recommended:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\EXCEL.EXE\shell\open\command
(default) REG_SZ "C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\EXCEL.EXE" "%1"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.txt\UserChoice
Progrid REG_SZ Applications\EXCEL.EXE
i am currently at a loss as to how to proceed. I've spent hours searching for a solution to no avail.
Thanks in advance, F
What does the text look like (does it have a standard structure, like a CSV file named with a .txt extension? Have you tried importing it the way you would with a CSV file? If it is structured like a CSV, have you tried renaming the file extension to .csv? – fixer1234 – 2018-11-27T22:09:50.250
