[I] have fallen at the first fence - 'making sure use Detect Special Numbers and to assign a date for the Column Type in the Text Import dialog'.
Detect Special Numbers is mentioned several places in the Text to Columns tutorial. Setting the Column Type is explained in its paragraph beginning After indicating your fields. You would not have needed to ask the question and would be on your way to solving the problem if you had read the tutorial that I linked for you. I have no difficulty opening ADAMSONBA_Tester.csv as long as I set each Column Type correctly. I can change the date format when the dates are not text. There are hundreds of topics in the forum from people who have difficulty because they imported CSV and just took all of the defaults in the Text Import dialog. This is one more. Read the tutorial.
