I tried to open an existing Excel file with my mailing contacts and got a dialog before it would open the file asking about length of fields and did I want comma delimited.... I just wanted to open the file to work on it but had to answer something in this dialog or I could not move forward, I made a choice just to get rid of it and when I saw the file the fields were overwriting each other, the file was basically ruined and so I quit Excel to close and get out. Before I go back and try to open the file again, is there any reason this dialog appeared? I am doing nothing fancy, just a list of names and addresses. How on earth can I restore my existing file? In 20+ years of using Excel I have never seen this before. Please help as I need to either start my entire mailing list file over from scratch and need to know how to prevent this from happening again. Here is the window that opened up that I saw when I opened the file. Is this something I need to learn more about as I do want to use my list for just name and email to the entire list eventually.
TIA,
Ken
