Hi :) That is what i was thinking of but now i re-read the original post in this thread i think that has already been tried.
Maybe just use Brian's advice but instead of making it a text-field just keep it as a normal number-field or (if it does allow you (which i doubt)) as a date field. In the Csv file the date then probably won't look like a date, just as some weird number instead. Calc will let you format the column in some suitable date format.
