Hi, the

I pull data from a web page using excel web query. The data have
date,
number and text. The problems are

1. The codes such as 01, 02 lose the leading zeros in excel
2. The large numbers such as 358762088221 was converted into
scientific as
3.58E+12. I need the original format becasues it is account number.

I tried every setting in webquery and can't figure out. Help is
appreciated.

Thanks

Glen
