RE: Exprting data into Excel drops leading zero

I talked to Surveyor/400 people again & there are two places to create the
download.  One goes through a wizard that prompts for all the needed info &
the one that I was using did not because I was using SQL to get subsets of
the data.  They are in the process of rewriting the method I used to also go
through the wizard & that will fix the problem

Thanks - Dennis.

My point is, why make things harder?  If you are using Excel to read the
data anyway, pull it down as the excel file and not as CSV.

In regards to the original question though, Surveyor/400 is doing the
"exporting to Excel" and it is doing it wrong, apparently.
