You can try something like CStr(Format([fieldname],"00")) - whatever is in
quotes - 00.00 or 00000000000 determines the formatting. I use something
similar to return a 4 character number. I have received extensive
formatting help from this forum, and am still learning, as there are
functions that convert to strings, numbers, dates, etc.
Here is an url that may help,

Subject
[mso] Fixed-format fields
in MS Access
I'm trying to design both forms and reports that contain (among other
things) two types of fixed-format fields: (a) an integer of a fixed length,
padded
with leading zeros when necessary (e.g. 0000000123), and (b) fields with
2
decimal places, with decimals not suppressed when zero (e.g. 123.00)
It seems that I should be able to set up some sort of custom format mask,
but I'm lost how to do that.
