Importing BIFF8 into Excel 2007 drops trailing zeros from iSeries

I'm trying to set up and automatic process to download an AS400 file
(that was created using Query) to an Excel 2007 spreadsheet. Currently
I'm using "Data Transfer From iSeries" for the download in BIFF8 format.
The problem is with a field that should have two decimal places. Excel
seems to drop the trailing zero.



I know that I can fix it by formating the spreadsheet after, but what I
am wondering is if there is a way I can pre-format the spreadsheet to
make the automatic process easier.



I would consider 3rd party software.



Thanks
