    still problems...

    Ok, so I´ve changed the german regional setting to the american one, I replaced the default seperator with a comma and I deinstalled and reinstalled Direct RT...it still does not work, what can I do? Could Excel 07 be the problem?

    Can you post a copy of the input file you are trying to run?

    I´ve solved the problem by using open office! This works perfectly.

    Hmmm, I wonder why. In any case, thanks for the update, good to hear you found yourself a solution!

    No need to change regional setting w Open office

    Located in Sweden I suffered from the same problem. Found very simple solution:

    Install Open office (Oo) (my version is 3.3), it is free.

    When you open a csv in Oo, the program will automatically ask you about the formatting instead of automatically changing it as in excel - choose separated by commas as in attached picture.

    No regional settings change needed!!!

    Jarvis - why not recommend Open office as default. It's free and obviously works better with DirectRT. Info on this matter and on the settings issue would have saved me a lot of pain for sure.
