Problem importing tracking numbers

I work for a retail chain and I need to use a Web query to import a list of tracking numbers from the web. The import is fine, but when it imports the numbers it uses scientific notation even when the cells are preformatted for text. When I preformat to numbers any digit past 15 becomes a zero. How can I set it to import the tracking numbers exactly as it's listed on the site? Do I need to do something with the iqy file?

How exactly are you importing the data? If you specify the import map to import that field as Text, it should work.
