You can try a regular expression then:
clear
LOCAL laTest(4), i
laTest[1] = "0002567890"
laTest[2] = "0000027890"
laTest[3] = "00002678-1"
laTest[4] = "0000000002"
loRegEx = Createobject('VBScript.RegExp')
with loRegEx as VBScript.RegExp
.Pattern = '^0+(.*)'
.IgnoreCase = .T.
.Global = .T.
FOR i = 1 TO ALEN(laTest, 1)
? .Replace(laTest[i], '$1')
NEXT i
ENDWITH
