Here's another issue to be aware of, that is a reason that I rarely "open" a text file, like a csv file, with Excel although I will use Excel if I can. Rather, I IMPORT the data via Data > Text files... where I can specify each column as General, Date or Text, since Excel will make data conversion choices that you might not like.
There's a way to specify a text file structure using a .INF file.
With a .INF file you can QUERY a pre-defined text file in Excel.
Using such a technique in Excel, it is possible to return manageable portions of a too-large text file to a worksheet.
BUT, you must know, understand and define the file column structure explicitly and correctly.
Skip,
Just traded in my OLD subtlety...
