I think the the issue is that when you open CSV files in Excel, it bypasses the Import Wizard, and makes assumptions in regards to your fields. But you can force it to use the Import Wizard by changing the file extension from "CSV" to "TXT" before opening it, as explained here: https://support.office.com/en-us/ar...sv-files-5250ac4c-663c-47ce-937b-339e391393ba, specifically, this section:
[FONT=&quot]Note:[/FONT][FONT=&quot] When Excel opens a .csv file, it uses the current default data format settings to interpret how to import each column of data. If you want more flexibility in converting columns to different data formats, you can use the Import Text Wizard. For example, the format of a data column in the .csv file may be MDY, but Excel's default data format is YMD, or you want to convert a column of numbers that contains leading zeros to text so you can preserve the leading zeros. [/FONT][FONT=&quot]To force Excel to run the Import Text Wizard, you can change the file name extension from .csv to .txt before you open it, or you can import a text file by connecting to it[/FONT][FONT=&quot] (for more information, see the following section).[/FONT]
