I would bet my money that he is using Excel to look at the CSV files. Excel and Word actually rename the file to a ~random.ext file name and work on that copy and mark the original as hidden and also mark the file as in use. When the file is closed, it just renames the temporarily file to the correct name. This is the way that is has the ability to UNDO items and/or track changes to the file (like in Word)
OOTP does not use the CSV files when it is running, so unless this app is accessing DAT files, OOTP being ran should have no bearing on it.
I plan on looking at the program this weekend, time permitting, Neag.
I read somewhere you were having some date problems in converting. Let me know the problems you are having, maybe I can help you there.
I think I am the resident 'guy that knows everything about the CSV files and other files' that are created by OOTP. I have gone over them with a fine tooth comb. Let me know if you have questions about them.
