i have the following function that will export a query to a spreadsheet. The issue is that when the value of the field has any leading zero's they get dropped. I don't do much with Excel so I'm not sure where to look first to resolve this. Any help is appreciated.

Code:
Option Compare Database

Function ExcelExport()

Dim strFile As String
Dim rsRegn As Recordset
Dim intRow As Integer
Dim strDate As String
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet

DoCmd.SetWarnings False
strFile = "c:\Template.xls"
 strDate = Format(Date, "mmddyy")
 
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets(1)

xlApp.Workbooks.Open strFile

With xlApp
    .Sheets("GL Wire Adjustments").Cells.Select
    .Selection.Delete
    .ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Value = "Branch Number"
    .ActiveSheet.Range("B1").Value = "Client Number"
    .ActiveSheet.Range("C1").Value = "Fee"
    .ActiveSheet.Range("D1").Value = "Description"
    
    .Range("A1", "D1").Select
        With xlApp.Selection.Interior
            .ColorIndex = 48
        End With
        
        With xlApp.Selection.Font
            .Size = 10
            .Bold = True
        End With
        
       
Set rsRegn = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qryGl")

    intRow = 2
    rsRegn.MoveFirst
    While Not rsRegn.EOF
        .ActiveSheet.Range("A" & intRow).Value = rsRegn.Fields(0).Value
        .ActiveSheet.Range("B" & intRow).Value = rsRegn.Fields(1).Value
        .ActiveSheet.Range("C" & intRow).Value = rsRegn.Fields(2).Value
        .ActiveSheet.Range("D" & intRow).Value = rsRegn.Fields(3).Value
        intRow = intRow + 1
        rsRegn.MoveNext
    Wend
    
TheEnd:
    .Columns("A:D").Select
        With xlApp.Selection
            .HorizontalAlignment = xlLeft
        End With
        
    .ActiveSheet.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
    .Range("A2").Select
    .ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs "c:\" & strDate & "Output.xls", , , "password"
    .Quit
End With

    DoCmd.SetWarnings True

End Function
 
solved:

just needed -

Code:
    .Columns("B:B").Select
        .Selection.NumberFormat = "@"

thanks for looking
