leading 0 missing in column when exporting to csv I have a query I export which is then used to import products into our website. 

One of the ways we help people find products more easily is by using a long and short item code. It's basically the last 5 digits of the main code. 

People can search for the whole or partial number. 

However when I export my query as a csv, any leading zeroes are removed.

Here is how I create the column in Access:

(Right(products_vendor1.shortISBN13,5)) AS item_code


Obviously, in Access I have no problem viewing this query and the values display even with the zeroes.

How can I export the csv without removing the leading zeroes?

These are the settings I'm using when I export:


  UTF-8 delimited by comma and quotes ,"
  
  and checking the box Include field names in first row.


And it's not that the leading zeroes are missing only with excel. It doesn't matter if I open with notepad++ or libre office calc

I'm using Access 2013 64bit.
Leading zeroes are removed if the exporter thinks the column is numeric.  You need to force the exporter to treat that column as text.

For instance, this might work:

chr(34) + (Right(products_vendor1.shortISBN13,5)) + chr(34)
