Dunno how to do this from CF, but Excel allows you to set a format for a cell.
So if you set the cell format as 'text', it won't strip the leading zeros. I just fired up Excel, set one column as a 'text' format, the next untouched, and typed in '01234' in both. The first one (text column) held the zero, the unformatted column stripped it. --Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
