Sorry, I didn't notice the part about all the data being in Column1. However, I have opened comma-delimited files and they were split successfully. I am not sure what is going on. Perhaps you should explicitly give the CSV extension.
One alternative would be to use the "parse" option in Excel.
Another would be to switch to DBF format instead of CSV. From VFP:
copy to temp.dbf type foxplus
FoxPlus is the dBASE III format; Excel can't read VFP tables directly.
