>My question is this...I have a field in my table called OrderId it is 7 characters long. If an id is entered that is three characters (ex. 123) I would like to have it replaced with leading zeros to the max of C(7) (ex. 0000123). Is this possible to do in the table designer..input mask or format fields? Any other suggestions?

Look at the PADL command. You can put this in the valid event of any text input box you create.

PADL(this.value,7,'0')

Will pad zeros to the left of the value up to 7 characters.
