I want to put leading zero automatically

[amit1234]

I have one field in form and i want to put leading zero automatically like if someone put 1 it should write 0001 and if someone write 11 then 0011 but it should be leading zero automatic.

I appreciate quick reply

While Len(Field) < 4
  Field = "0" & Field
End While

I don't know if this is valid ASP (I don't know ASP and am judging from my long-ago knowledge of REALBasic), but that's the general idea of it.

Its not i want to put only one zero. it can be one or two or three also.it depend on how many digits someone enters.

[Twey]

Exactly. The above loop will pad Field to four digits with zeroes.

Hi amit1234! I'm also new to ASP...and similarly got the same problem..

I found this code and this was a great help in solving that problem...

You need to do some itsy bitsy tweaking on it though if you want it to be automatic... =)

Hope it helps!
