Don't know if this helps, but you could try changing the number format of
columns 1 and 3 in the worksheet to "Text". From VFP, you'd do something
like this:

*!* Assume oSheet is a reference to the Excel.ActiveSheet
WITH oSheet
    .Columns(1).Numberformat = "@"
    .Columns(3).Numberformat = "@"
ENDWITH
