    strange behaviour while loading *.csv file

    Hi all,
    I am experiencing a strange behaviour from my Excel.
    If I am opening manually a *.csv file, the file opens in 1 column with all the text as is in the CSV-file (when opened in Notepad as txt).

    However if I open with a macro, the file is upon opening already converted and divided in columns. (This has changed recently and I cannot figure out why)
    For me this is at the moment unwanted, as my macro is dealing with the text in one column. And as side-effect, the date-labels are completely messed up. Like 14th october = 14-10-2021, but 1st of october is displayed as 10-01-2021 (like 10th of January)

    How is this this behavior to be avoided? I mean that the file should be opened as before (i.e. manually), as text in one column in VBA.

    Cheers
    Erwin

    Look in the ThisWorkbook_Module and see if there is code that directs the workbook to automatically process the data upon opening.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but the mentioned file is an output of bankstatements. (Export from bank). No ThisWorkbook Modules active.
    I have found a way around it to import the file in a variable and then extract this variable line by line into the spreadsheet.

    Cheers
