Importing contacts from Excel
I successfully imported contacts from Excel, but zip codes were not formatted
correctly. They were missing "0" when "0" was the first digit. (Zips were formatted as zip codes in Excel.) What to do?!?!? Thank you!

You might be able to run some code to change them. Check in the Outlook

Importing contacts from Excel
Your Zip Codes are being treated as numeric fields on import which
eliminates leading zeros. Quick solution that should resolve your problem:: Save your worksheet as a CSV file and import that instead of the Excel worksheet Karl __________________________________________________ _ Karl Timmermans - The Claxton Group ContactGenie - Importer 1.3 / DataPorter 2.0 / Exporter "Power contact importers/exporters for MS Outlook '2000/2007" http://www.contactgenie.com "Ginnymc5199" wrote in message ...

Importing contacts from Excel
I've saved as a CSV file and found that formatting, including "special" zip
code format in Excel was lost. When I imported into Outlook, leading zero's were still missing. I've tried a couple of times. Could this be related to a problem merging data from Excel into Word, which began with Office 2003 in Win XP? Numeric data is not formatted correctly unless the user first, tells Word to "confirm conversion" & then confirms that data is "Excel worksheet via DDE." I used to run mail merges without difficulty, then one year I had a problem - zip codes were missing leading zeros. A co-worker in my new job, found that dates and times were not formatted correctly when she ran merges. I did some research and found the solution in Word Help, by searching for "DDE." I think that if I knew how to tell Outlook that my data is from "Excel via DDE," I could import my contacts with properly formatted zip codes. I apologize for not replying sooner. I thought I did reply last month, but I've been very busy with a new job, and apparently did not reply promptly. Sorry!!!!

Importing contacts from Excel
Thank you! I just tried again, for the umpteenth time, saved as a CSV file,
then saved again in Notepad. This time I imported zip codes complete with leading zeroes! I didn't understand your reference to method 083938999938, but when I saw the correct zip codes in Notepad, I began to think this might actually work! Thank you, again.
