I have successfully used the quoting strategy when preparing CSV files for Excel. What character are you using as your field separator?

Yes, I've just tried

Code:
" 01"," 02"," 03"," 04"
" 01"," 02"," 03"," 04"

and

Code:
"01","02","03","04"
"01","02","03","04"

and indeed it drops the leading zero.

I suppose that comes from Excel trying to make the best guess given that it's a spreadsheet.

Not a very nice one, requiring manual excel action:

Select column->right click->Format cells choose "special" and type in 0# as the format and numbers will be padded with a zero if single digits. 00# for padding to three digits etc.
