Hi Marcia,

PADL(myNumber,100) was the ticket. I figured this out by myself! :) BTW, we found a behavior change in TRANSFORM() function, which is not mentioned in Help. Check the whole thread for discussion of this problem.

BTW, I'm currently working on Combo in a Grid problem. FoxPro Advisor article is unavailable, so I'm thinking about using Form's KeyPress and checking for ActiveControl. Do you think, it would work?

Thanks a lot in advance.
