Works to MySQL conversion until long after I had imported the data into our 
current MySQL table.  Now we have to fix the numbers in our MySQL table and 
guarantee that we can export them out to Excel for the printer.  I'm working on 
either finding or producing a script that will repair the 12,000 rows of mixed 
zip (5 digit) and zip+4 data.

I appreciate your taking the time to help us Johnny.


so you core problem is that you zip code is a number (or was in between) like 
1234 and you would like to see 01234.
unload your data and reformat using a simple shell script with a printf core 
like this one:
 printf "%09d\n" 1234

this should be a matter of minutes to rewrite.
