>>Excel has the nasty habit of doing things to the data.  For example, 
leading zeros are removed from numeric data.  This is a bad thing if >>you 
have valid data like 123, 0123 & 00123.  Excel will make then all 123.

I agree.  You can quote text values, but this is problematic if the data 
itself contained quotes.  It helps some if you define the fields as text 
instead of general in the import screen.  But there are still problems.  I 
have tried to convince users not to overuse Excel, but they usually act 
like I just ran over their favorite puppy.
