When exporting from Oracle, OPEN is not an option.

In a nutshell:
New computer running XP Professional, I was using W2K to export data
from Oracle, and into Excel.
The previous options to get the data was to click on either
"Open", or "Save" from the dialogue box.
I'd select "Open", and a resultant list of apps would allow me to select
Excel as the place to export to. Nice.

Now. . .with XP, the options presented do not include the option to
"Open", (only "Save" or "Cancel" appear). I can save and then navigate
my way to the file, and open with Excel, and map out all the fields,
but it was alot easier before. I do beleive that this is a function of the
OS, and not within any export dialogue from oracle, or perhaps a security
setting is preventing it.

Ideas on how to get back the ability to select an application?

Actually, this is a function of the specific Oracle application you're
using, not the OS.
