Default Opening a CSV file

Hi,
Even though the part number may be only numbers, you still
want to treat it as text. The column into which you are
loading that value is treating it as a number by default
and drops the leading zero. You need to format that
column either on the worksheet or in code to a string
format, then the leading 0 will remain.

I am using VBA to open a CSV file. The file has a column

with
part numbers which are all numeric but some start with 0.
I have placed double-quotes around the data but it still
importing it into Excel with the leading zero missing.
How do I get it to import with the leading zero still

there?
