Why not just allow the users to open it, save it locally as
a .csv, and reattach the .csv?

Subject: Attachment Format Conversion?
Hi guys! the WAG Remedy team all stayed home from "RUG in a BUG" this year, too.
And, we are trying to do a nifty trick:
User opens a record with an attachment file that is an Excel worksheet, formatted *.xls
Can we give the User a button on the Remedy form that will convert that attachment to *.csv format?
We have brainstormed all sorts of ideas (some feasible, some wishful thinking) , e.g. calling a converter utility, or using OLE to run a macro in the xls to save it as csv.
Thought we'd bring the List's creativity to the problem. Any ideas?
Oh, and any utility needs to be credible and free.
