This looks like Excel does not properly register the "xls" file type. Why is that you, I am afraid, have to ask M$.

If they ignore file extensions completely -- which would be a grave bug, but somewhat non surprising one for a Carbon thing -- you have to set an appropriate Classic type/creator for the file. I haven't tried myself since I don't like the stuff the slightest bit, but the NSFileManager method changeFileAttributes:atPath: with attributes NSFileHFSCreatorCode/TypeCode should help.

and asks for
formating when i select Excel.

This, on the other hand, looks like you set the file contents improperly. Check the Excel file format documentation (if any -- I don't know, since I would never use Excel: waiting very anxiously for first release of FlexiSheet am I, and if I for some reason really needed the traditional thing, I'd go Mesa).
