Default compatibility issues with Vista

Your problem isn't one that this group is qualified to answer. You need to
ask in an Excel 2007 group.

My customer is starting to upgrade their pc's to Windows Vista. In the
past,
under XP and using Excel, they provided a tab-delimited file as input to
my
inkjet system that uses Windows 98. No problem!

Now under Vista, using Excel (2007) I can read the file, but it doesn't
recognize it as tab-delimted, this not formatting correctly. I open in
XP
on my pc, import into EXcel and then output as tab-delimited and it still
won't work. I put it out as CSV and it is fine.

The only problem using CSV is there is a comma in the City State field
that
must remain and it gets dropped even though it has quotes. My vendor
admits
it is a bug in their system and the workaround is tab-delimted.

Does anyone know of, or experiencing any compatibility issues with
tab-delimited files?

Thanks,

Bob
