Sorry guys, i was stupidely working on the wrong field. I must take a break now...

Of course 99999-999 did the job for the report and for the input. I still didn't figure out how to have 0 instead of blank (for example, 1234123 would appear as 01234-123) ???

I would like the input to come with 0 instead of blank, so when the user comes in the fields, when empty or 0, it put 00000-000. The format command seems quiet cryptic to me, I did try several combinaison without success.
