Default ZIP Code insanity - , How to€¦vlookup, formats, number of digits.

What is the deal with Excel and ZIP codes, I know a lot of people out there
are using Excel for address lists as I do. Whenever I have a straightforward
ZIP lookup or match it turns into this big project figuring out what format
the ZIP from one file is and making the other file look like it. One is text
the other a number, one is missing the leading zero one looks like it has the
zero but is formatted that way, I go nuts. If you been there you know.

Can anyone tell me, €˜this is it, do it like this, it works every time. ? Do
I need a macro, combination of funtions, what am I missing? Thanks you guys.
