Can anyone assist with providing vba code on how to import a .txt file into excel without losing leading zeros for zip codes?

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Import those fields as "Text", and they will maintain the leading zeroes.
You can do that by importing with the Legacy "Text Import Wizard".

Rather than a guessing challenge just activate the Macro Recorder then in the Import Wizard assistant do not forget to specify the column as text …​
