Yes, you can. See here for details:

In the case of your field, the concatenation needs to look like this:

[order number]&"-"&CStr(Format([mrrno],"0000"))

Subject: [mso] Formatting a concatenated field

I have a concatenated field as follows: [order number]&"-"&[mrrno]. The
[mrrno] comes from a numeric field formatted as 0000 so it will show
0001, 0002, instead of 1, 2, etc. The [order number] field is
alphanumeric. They are concatenated in order to form a unique key for
certain filtering I need, however, the result looks like '1234xx5678-1'.
I want it to look like '1234xx5678-0001'. Can I force the 0000 format on
the [mrrno] to show in the final concatenated result? Thank you!
