Cognos doesnt burst/email native excel documents, it generates MHT docs. When you open the burst "excel" report in your browser, on the file menu there should be an option to open the file in excel

If you deliver as a .csv, the file certainly will open in excel directly, but you lose all of the formatting that you may have embedded in the report.  If you want to maintain the formatting, use the method that is suggested above by Angus Miller.  You may be able to get the Excel 2000 to deliver directly to Excel rather than as an .mhtml file.  Really, just educating the user on the default behaviour is normally a satisfactory approach.

I'm having the same issue, this time it's because my users have the Treo all in one phone.  I'm also trying to use the .pdf reader, with no luck either.  It looks like the Treo doesn't have a .pdf reader built into it.

Any other clues from others?
