Update issues

I have made my own programme in Access. Still a learner but I copied varies
things Northwind and forums. After the update on my Office Pro Edition 2003
when I put the catalogue numbers in a form if it starts with a 0 eg 06697 it
will not recognize it. I now have to put 6697 in for it to show 06697
(format set to 00000). Any suggestions everything worked fine before Window
update and seems to work fine if I uninstall Office Pro Edition 2003 and
reinstall, but then the windows update kicks in. I could switch the window
update off but I'm sure this is not a good idea

Hi Karl,
Let's start with the table that the catalogue number goes into.
I have A 2003 with all service packs and updates.
I created a new table with an auto no. primary key and a text field called
CatalogueNo.
The table properties for Format and InputMask are empty.
I created a form based on the table.
I can type 06697 into the textbox for catalogue number without any problem.
How is your table setup?
