It sounds like the import is overwriting column C. What steps do you go
through to import it?

Data Import External Data
My data is the tab delimited BOM text. I set it up so that there is a blank
entry for column C

The only imports available are Edit Text import and Data range properties.
Others are grayed out.

I select Edit Text Import and go with the defaults. At this point data gets
imported and the column C gets overwritten with a blank. Prior to import
Column C contained all zeroes As it should because column B contained no
data.

I feel like I am really close to solving this. Someone just has to smack me
on the back of my head ;)
