ISSUE:

 

In some cases, when a report is printed as an Excel document, if there's any result that starts with the number zero, that zero will not appear on the spreadsheet but the rest of the result will.


SOLUTION:

If you use a dbmemo rather than a dbtext for the field in question and also make the selection a string in the SQL, this seems to do it.
