Zip Codes starting with 0 in .csv
 
I have an excel spreadsheet that I need to convert to a .csv to import. One
of the columns is the zip code, including codes that start with 0. However,
whenever I convert it to .csv, it strips out the first 0 of the zip code,
thus leaving a 4 digit code. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

It is NOT stripped out of the CSV file (you can check that in Notepad). The
leading 0 is stripped out when the CSV file is read back into Excel.
