Default Excel automatically changing my column with "E" to exponential Num

We transfer data from a database to Excel for multiple reasons. The ID to
our records are 6 characters such as "123A12" "456B12". When we have an ID
such as "419E07" Excel automatically changes that to 4.19E+09. A group of
us has tried EVERYTHING we know to stop this from happening. When we open
Excel, we DO NOT want Excel to convert. Any ideas?
