Have you tried %editc(yourField:'X') ?

Subject: Leading 0's in a CSV file

I have a database file that has a character field that contains numeric
data(part#)  example 0006075.
I have created a CSV file and this particular record looks
like"0006075", but when it is opened(through EXCEL)  it shows as 6075.
I have tried putting a single quote at the beginning of the field like
"'0006075'.  However, this shows  with the single quote.
Does anyone know how to make the leading zeros appear?
