Hi. I need to save files as .csv for importing Product Codes into my
purchasing system. My problem is that, even if I change the relevant
column
to "TEXT", after saving the file as a .csv the "0" or even sometimes "00"
that appear at the beginning of many of the product code is being dropped
by
Excell when the file is reopened.

Any thoughts on how I can solve this issue?

Change the file name to txt rather than csv, & when you read in through the
import wizard, set the relevant columns to format as "Text".
