Hello -

I have a customer that is using MailMerge tp import zip codes into a table

When the feild is over 5 digits, i.e zip codes plus postal codes, it treats
it as alphebetic and all is well. However, the 5 digit zips are treated as
numeric and any and or all *leading* zeros get dropped.

I have been unable to recreate this in my lab... any ideas?

thanks in advance.
