Does saving the file to csv really convert it to scientific notation
(i.e., if you open the resulting file in NotePad, do you see scientific
notation?), or are you seeing scientific notation when you import it
back into XL (where the parser will convert it)?

I saved the file as .xls, with the column formated as number. In .xls file
type, it isn't a problem, but when I then save the file as a .csv, it again
converts it to scientific. I've got a headache now from pounding my head
against the wall...
