[Aavso-photometry] csv files with excel - question

[Jim Jones]

Jim

Try right clicking on a .csv file.  Then click on "properties".  Now 
click on the "General" tab if it isn't already on top.  About the second 
line down will be "Opens With:"
This should be set to Microsoft Excel.  If it isn't, click on "change" 
and select Microsoft Excel.

Not sure why it happens but sometimes a file association gets bombed.
