Hi,

In the design view select the field and in the format property (in the lower part of the table design view) put 0000. This will show the number 1 as 0001 or 888 as 0888 noting that it is a matter of just format that means the number will actually stay 1 or 88.

It is never about the number of languages you know, you either have the logic of programming or you don't ...

Some of the codes I post are collected from different sites during the past couple of years, so I would like to thank them for their help and for enabling me to help.
