[AccessD] Table Export to text - decimals truncate

Numbers don't have leading zeroes unless they are formatted as strings.
What's the difference between 0444 and 0.4375?

That works except it turns the value (last) to a string like this

"0444","COST","011100007","REG","O21",536.00,,"0.4375"

I need it as a value
"0444","COST","011100007","REG","O21",536.00,,0.4375

export keeps chopping the the data to
"0444","COST","011100007","REG","O21",536.00,,0.43

-does it in acc97 and acc2002
