When I save it as a .csv file it looks like this:
Date Account ID
5/14/2008 3/1/5280
5/14/2008 3/1/5280
5/14/2008 3/1/5280

5/14/2008 3/1/5280

5/14/2008 2101-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
I have formatted it to Text, Number, and General etc. I have Copy the data
into a new spreadsheet, cleared all formatting. Tried this on two different
computers. No matter what it keeps changing the 2nd column to a data format.
Even though it doesnt do it to the other account ID. I have imported this
stuff before and no problem. I am not importing into Excel.
