We just migrated to 3.2 recently, and this is the first time I've needed to use a .csv file. In the past, I would add the .csv file to the project, use the Export Table function to change data types, alias, etc., and then save to my geodatabase, and then I could join the table to an existing layer and everything was fine.
However, in 3.2 when I make those changes, they always revert to the original settings before exporting:

All I'm doing is removing fields and changing ZIP from numeric to text so that I can use it to join as usual:

When I hit OK, it reverts back to the first picture. I've even tried creating new fields with the field type I need, but that doesn't work either; all changes are blown out after hitting OK. This is really hindering my work and I don't want to have to clean my data before using it since I never had to before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
