As far as fixing the 01 issue in Excel, I ran into that problem with
zip codes with a zero in front. Highlight the column in question, or
cell, then right click on a PC...choose Format Cells...then choose
Text--this will allow the cell to look exactly as you typed it no
matter if numbers or letters.
I hope this helps--

Heather ...yes..i did that...but when i open it back...the 0 is
missing.
Is it possible to store 012 without putting " in front and at the
back of the value because i need to upload the data to some database.
With " notation in that value it'll coz some troubles.Thanks eneway

No, it's not possible. If you're sending the file into a database then
you just need to not open the file back up. Maybe keep a file of the
values as a spreadsheet xls, and then when you want to do an upload
save a copy as csv and then don't edit it. This will allow you to
maintain a file without having to deal with the zeros.
