1. I'm not sure what program you're using for your source data but assuming something like Excel, try specifying 'custom' field/column formatting in your spreadsheet program e.g., "000000000000#", to force display of leading zeros.
2. Open your CSV file in something like Notepad (or something better like Notepad++ [free]) and check those descriptions closely. You might have field and/or value delimiters that are either missing or being misinterpreted. Quite likely something in those descriptions is being interpreted as a delimiter and omitting everything thereafter... or something like that.

Best of luck.

I am not sure I explained myself well (even with the first part). The file that's generated from Easy Populate excludes the leading zeros in the csv file. In other words, the leading zeros are gone before I even open the file in Open Office. I know I can add the leading zero's back but that defeats the purpose because it will require me to go through 1,000s of record and add the leading zeros back. Some upc have 1 leading zero, others two leading zero and some three leading zeros. It's not even as simple as just formatting the cell to add leading zeros (because they are different). What I am asking is if it's possible to protect the source data when exporting from our site so Easy Populate does not remove the leading zero upon export?

Thanks!
