Default Stop automatically removing leading zeros?

Our database has a report that pulls information into an Excel file, which I
then open. When I open the file, Excel automatically removes the leading
zeros, but I need those leading zeros. There are different numbers of leading
zeros for each line, so I can't just automatically add a zero to each one or
something like that. I don't have access to the report to change how it puts
the data in, so I really need a way to tell Excel to NOT auto "correct" this.
How can I do this? For the record, I'm using Excel 2002.

Thanks!
