Dave,

I'm having the same problem. Is there any way to make Excel open the
..csv file containing a
string of numeric characters with a leading 0, e.g., "03" , and have
it saved in a cell as text instead of
numeric?

TIA

Ed

I would think it would depend on how your database importing works.

Okay, If I open the csv the zero is gone. If I open the file in
notepad the zero is present. Does that mean if I upload the csv
file
to my database that the number will be whole and the zero present?

Thanks Dave..
