Re: No Leading Zero's when using Digits function in Query

[Kirk Goins <kirkgoins@xxxxxxxxx>]

That is fine if you keep it as numeric. As soon as you use DIGITS it pads
the left with Zeros when placed in the character field
00123456 stored in Numeric with the proper EditCode will display 123456,
but use DIGITS with that number and the you are back to 0123456 assuming
you have an 8 position field.
