Default Data Validation

The number can start with 0. As soon as I put either 8 zeros or 00000001, it
changes it to simply 0, so then a person can put in as small of a number they
want.

So, why doesn't setting it to a Whole Number Between 10000000 and 99999999
work?

I want to validate a cell that it must have an 8-digit number put in it---no
shorter, no longer. No matter how I validate the cell it won't work unless I
select "text length". This is not to be text! It's supposed to be an
8-digit number! What gives? How does one validate this cell to restrict it
to just that? How can something so simple be so contrary?
