Default problem with downloading Data into Excel 2003

We have reporting application that downloads data into Excel , and it opens
in MS Excel window properly on Excel version 2000, 2002 sp2/sp3 but in case
of Excel 2003 , it opens directly in IE instead of MS Excel window. I need to
resolve this issue, is this common behavior with IE 6.0 , XP and Excel 2003.
Any help is appreciated !

But each user's pc needs to be set up this way.

Thanks Dave, This is want i asked the user to do.

1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Open Tools Ă* Folder Options €¦ Ă* Under €śFile Types€ť tab select CSV
3. Make sure that it has been set to open with Microsoft Excel
4. Click Advanced button
5. Un-check Browse in Same Window. (Please see system admin if it is checked
and the option is disabled)
6. Press ok
8. Close all browsers.
9. Start reporting application and try again.
10. Let me know if this still does not resolve the issue..

But the user replied back it still opens in same window , default setting is
same as above mentioned and he has " Browse in same window " unchecked and
disabled.

Let me know if user need to anything further to open in appropriate office
application.

I just looked at my settings for .csv files (winXP Home, xl2003, MSIE 6.0).

The option for browse in same window was disabled.
The default action was Open
But I do have "confirm open after download" checked. (I like to be prompted
each time I download anything.)

Maybe that would be enough to choose Open or save? (Just a guess.)

And I meant to add that I did download a .csv file and it opened directly in
Excel (after I clicked Open (not save)).
