Dan, I have a field in my original file called "BARCODE". This field is set up with all the information needed to create my postal barcode - which was set up when my mail house pre-sorted this list. When I import the file as a .csv file and check the summary before completing the wizard, the record under each field shows me the barcode information without that leading zero. I have attempted to continue and place my barcode without the leading zero and when I check it, sure enough there is a digit/bar missing from my final barcode. The leading zeros do appear in my Zip Code field but when I use this field to create my barcode, the barcode is somehow incomplete - even when I select the option to compute the checksum digit.

What exactly do you mean by this? Where in FusionPro do you see the values with the zeroes missing? For instance, if you make a rule that simply says: return Field("Zip"); // or whatever field name And validate that for one of the records where say that your zeroes are missing, do you see them in the result? FusionPro should read in the field values directly from the CSV file, exactly as you see them in Notepad. It handles the fields as text values, not as numbers where leading zeroes would be removed.
