I am using a web based trade application to export to a CSV file. When I click export and save as, I enter the file name. When I open Excel I can't see the file. I re-open the trade app, hit save-as and the file is there. I click over write, reopen excel and it is still not there. I have tried to search for the file and it can't be found. I have verified there are no hidden files and that it was saved with csv extension.
Any suggestions.

The file appears to not be there. I switched where I save it to, when different folders to even on the desktop. I don't see it on my desktop and Windows can't find it in a search.
But if I do another export, click save as, it sees the file. As if it is stuck in a cache file or something.

When you try to open a file in Excel, it only presents you with Excel-type files.

There's a drop-down in the File Open dialog box to allow you to browse other file types: pick CSV.

Thanks, I understand the drop down box.
The only time I see the file is when I click export on the Web Based Program, I can see it. I can click Save As a second or third time and I can see it.
If I search for the file I can't see it. If I know where I saved it and go to that directoy I can't see it. If I save it to the desktop, I can't see it. If I open excel and use the drop down, I can't see the file.
