Glenda,
I have a trick I use in VBA to fix this when I need to export with
leading or trailing zeroes

Thanks James.
It's not the display that's the problem. I need the trailing zeros when
I export the file to .txt, fixed width format. My resulting number MUST
be 0.00. Ray Blake & Linda Johnson had the right suggestion for this
situation. I was using the wrong formatting for the text field. Oddly,
to get number values with leading zeros as text, I export from Access or
copy/paste to Excel, change the field formatting to display the leading
zeros then copy/paste to an existing all text table back in Access THEN
export to a .txt file and the leading zeros remain. ZEROS are such a
huge problem leading or trailing. sheesh! /g
