After downloading and saving the Excel file, open it up by double-clicking on the file name or go into Excel from the Start-Programs-Microsoft Excel route and then open the file (File-Open).

In this Excel file, the macro will help you select the appropriate options you will need to complete in order to email the file back to CDE after you have finished your data input to the file. You will notice sheets being hidden and unhidden by the macro based on your selections made on the 2a - cover page sheet, this is normal.
