Has anyone figured out how to zero fill field using a custom formula where the field has to be a certain length, zero filled to that length, if the field value is shorter?
I would think the custom field would look different depending on if its a numeric or a text field.
for example:
field value : 345 (numeric)
fixed length: 7
right justified
will have to look like this:
0000345
field value: 34523
will have to look like this:
0034523

For example:
ToText(345, "0000000") returns "0000345"
ToText(34523, "0000000") returns "0034523"
Take a look at CR help, paragraph "Format Strings"

replace(right(space(x) + totext({field}, x), x)," ", "0")
as another idea...
