How are you importing it?
If as a text file through the Wizard, make sure you click on that column and assign it the Text datatype "ESCOKS" wrote: I have an inventory code 10E3 when I try and import it in a speadsheet it always wants to go in as 1.00E+04 which looks to me like 10000 this also happens for my inventory code 22E3 (2.20E+04) I tryed formmated to text but it stil does not like it Help!

text vs number
I did click test datatype my other number in the column EX 2253 are coming
trough as text only the two items with an "E" in the middle (10E3 & 22E3) are having the problems. it converts it to 10000 or 1.00E+04. "E19" has no problems either.
