I'm trying to write the contents of a csv file to a table, but I am
having problems with fields with leading zeroes. Whenever I save as csv
I lose the leading zeroes. Does anybody know how to prevent this?

re: csv and leading zeroes

are values being saved as numbers or strings ?
wrapped in quotes ?
