[mso] Displaying leading zeros in Access

How can I have leading zeros display in a field that contains a number. The
number is being delivered as number, but in database terms it really needs
only be text (no calculations are done on it). These are residency codes:
006, 087, 236, etc. It does not seem to matter whether I have the field be
text or number, I cannot get the leading zeros to display.
