Default Formatting Numbers to Text or??!!!

I have a spreadsheet that contains the following data:

Date Account ID
5/14/08 5280-3-01
5/14/08 5280-3-01
5/14/08 5280-3-01
5/14/08 5280-3-01
5/14/08 5280-3-01
5/14/08 5280-3-01
5/14/08 1030-0-01
5/14/08 1030-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01
5/14/08 2101-0-01


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 3/1/5280
5/14/2008 3/1/5280
5/14/2008 1030-0-01
5/14/2008 1030-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
5/14/2008 2101-0-01
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.

When I open the file using notepad this is what it looks like:
Date,Account ID,Reference,Trans Description,Amount,Number of
Distributions,Recur Number,Recur Frequency
5/14/08,5280-3-01,AP015843,TIPMASTER'S,-115,8,,

That didn't work exactly. I can get it in .xls I need to have in the .csv
file so I can import the data. I have before with no problems using this
account number. I don't have to open the .csv I just have to import it into
another program not Excel.

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.

When I open the file using notepad this is what it looks like:
