I'm importing data from an Excel spreadsheet to an Access database. One of the fields is Social Security number. I need help with formatting the social security # in Excel so Access will see leading 0's. I've tried formatting the ss# as text and also starting the ss# with an apostrophe but still Access doesn't see the leading 0. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
