Access 2007: Formatting a text field in a datasheet
A few questions:
1. How do I format a text field to get leading zeroes, e.g. if I enter 321 into the field it will display as 000321. (I know how to do this with a numeric field, but not a text field.) 2. What is the difference between the @ format and the & format in a text field in an Access 2007 table? I can see no difference playing with these two formats. 3. Does anyone know where I can find good/comprehensive examples online for formatting fields of the different data types in an Access table? Thanks, Doug
