Greetings--

Further to Sue's post, my library software exports to files and the default
extension for those files is '.out'. I routinely open these files using Excel, because
they are comma delimited. You might try different applications you may already
have that will open these files. Set the "File of Type" to "All files", and even those
not native to the app will be shown. No harm in trying it this way.

HTH.
