I had this same problem. It ended up being that when I opened the file in exel, all the columns from the csv went into one excel column and for some reason it wasn't apparent....or something like that. .....now if I could only remember what it was I did to fix it. hmmm.

.i think it was some searching and replacing or something.

.that should get you started though.

..sorry for the not so helpful post, but maybe this will trigger something.

Jared,

I played YAPPPACK quite often some time ago. I like it very much. But somehow I failed to generate the gif file from the csv file as sample shown. Can someone shade me some light on this? I tied very hard to make the graphs from the csv file but just don't know how.

Thanks,

Joan
