Tools for Excel to open a file automatically...

The best option is to make a csv file and save the file with a csv extension.

If say you want three columns of data to include name, age, color, the file would look like:

Joe, 46, blue
Aimee, 45, green
Holly, 29, red

and make sure to save this - what looks like a text file - as a csv
-->member.csv

suggest you zip the file on unix
ftp to the pc
unzip the file
