I can't get Excel to accept "0" as the first zip code digit; i.e., 01933
turns into 1933. Any suggestions?
 
Here are the standard options:

Format the cells as Zip Codes.....
From the Excel main menu:
<format><cells><number tab>
Category: Special
Type: (select the appropriate zip code format)

OR
Format the cells as Text....
From the Excel main menu:
<format><cells><number tab>
Category: Text

OR
Start each zip code entry with an apostrophe
Example: '00123
which will display as 00123

Does that help?
