I have a form that my employees use to clock in and out, and has worked like a charm for over a year. We us the last 4 digits as employee id for them to clock in, and until now never had an employee with a leading 0, example 0123. the field is defined as a text. I use the variable as default value for column EmpID but the variable does not pass the leading 0, example only 123. What I did was used a property command the set the EmpID and all works fine, but my question is why does the variable not pass through to the default value as 0123 but instead 123. Tom Hart
