Numbers less than 1000 would have leading zeros. When they are scanned they would be entered this way but that would not hurt anything as they would be stored correctly (assuming you are scanning into an integer column.

The custnum filed contains 2,3,4....?

The bar code is on the custnum filed, the bar codes are very small for the lower custnum's 2,3 4.. and will not scan but for the bigger numbers it work Great. I have tried Autosize checked and unchecked. What am I missing? thanks Marc
