Hi All
Is there an easy way to add leading zeros to existing numbers in a field?
Example:00001562 or 00054621 (always 8 characters)
when entering the numbers manually I don't have a problem but if I import from a spread sheet, access removes the leading zeros. I have tried setting the cells to text in excel but it keeps doing it. Would be great if I could just update the field in access to put the zeros back in.
Thanks In Advance
