- I'm trying to work with an automated testing tool which can use .csv files as its data sourse.
 - After saving a notepad file containing a number of fields and data seperated by commas as .csv it appears to have been converted to an excel file.
 - When I run the test, only the first line of values is identified and can be run within the automated test.
 
Not sure if this is expected with the testing product (www.badboy.co.au), but just wondered if there was a way of preventing excel from taking control of the .csv file?
Any helpfull feedback would be great.
