Postal code field
Stu
If you are truly referring to postal codes, note the word "code". These are not "numbers", even though, in the US, they look like numbers. If your underlying table defines that field as a number, you can only use formatting to DISPLAY the leading zero, because "00001" and "1" are the same number. If you need to STORE the leading "0", and if you might ever have a postal code from a country other than the US, change the data type to "text".
