Using A2k
Exporting a query to a CSV file. The problem is any text fields (i.e. 000345)
lose any leading zeros.
Exporting to an excel file this problem does not exist.
Tried to create a SpecificationNa me via the Export Wizard without success.
Obviously doing something wrong.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You need to create a query, the formatted field should be in the grid
as something like:
Aliasname: Format(FieldNam e,"000000")
Then export the query.

Have taken the query that has a field "SalesOrder " (sample:000123) and in the
same query created field "NewSalesOr der: Format([SalesOrder],"000000").
When I export this query using acExportDelim fields fail to maintain the
leading zeros.
Any thoughts?

Do you have an export specification in place that is still treating
this column as numeric?

I removed the SpecificationNa me just in case. Leading zeros in both the
orignal field and the formated field were removed.
However I found this to be the case when exporting to "MyFile.csv ". When
exported to "MyFile.txt ", both field maintain the leading zeros.
Currently checking to see if the software being export to will axcept an "txt"
extention. The text file should survice in that the data contains no true
numeric data. Just account and zipcodes. So I this point there may be no need
to reinvent the wheel.
Althought it would be nice to know why I can't place the leading zeros in the
"cvs" file.

I don't know if it has anything to do with Excel being the registered
application for opening .csv files but it has to be said, Excel is a
pile of poo when it comes to handling data. Only the other day I was
exporting data to Excel, which consisted mostly of dates. Being in the
UK all my settings are UK, including dates (dd/mm/yyyy) even so, Excel
would only treat the dates that were valid in US format (e.g.
03/04/2004) as dates and right aligned, all others (e.g. 13/01/2004)
were treated as text and left aligned.

What is being created is just an intermidiate file to be wused between two
external software applications. I don't believe Excel is at issue at the
moment. I origionally exported the data to an excel file without ill affect,
then asked to make it a cvs file.
But due to what has previously been mentioned a "txt" file should survice. And
due to skill level may have to survice. At least for the moment.

Help, I'm linking an excel spreadsheet in access and I have datafields
with leading zeros (01021). When the file is linked in access, I get
a #num in the field with the leading zeros. The zeros are needed.
I've formated the field to be a text field, general number, and number
and still I get the #num! error, or the leading zero is dropped. Can
someone help before I pull more of my hair.
Thanks a bunch.

I've got a field that has some old data with text in it, but all forward
data will be a 3 digit number. But many of the numbers are still only 2
digits. I would like to force the leading zero in the entry of the field.
For example if the number 77 is entered into the field, 077 will display.
How do I format to force the leading zero?

How can one format an integer into a hex string with leading zeros? Suppose
an integer is 512 which in Hex is 200. I wish to print the 4-byte integer
as 0200 or even 0x0200. The HEX function doesn't create leading zeros. The
Format function (format(value,"X") doesn't create leading zeros.
I believe there should be a simple way that doesn't involving measuring and
padding the string.

Hi,
I have a simple ms access application that allows you to scan barcodes
in to a form which stores them in the database. The barcodes are 6
digits in length e.g. 555666 but my handheld scanner always adds a
leading zero - e.g. 0555666. You can get round this problem by
changing the database design for the field where this is stored from
text to number format.
However, when it comes to quickly doing a search for a code - CTRL + F

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
