Microsoft Access 2013 leading text format in text field

1 New Member
I have moved a database from work to home and it went from 2010 to 2013. Most of my fields are functioning correctly in my forms, but I have one field that is a combo dropdown that will not display the leading text and zeros that I want. What's weird is I have other fields that function the same way and they are working. I have formatted the field to be "NCR-"000 to make "1" be NCR-0001; however, it only displays "1"

Please post what you are using to format your field and also your row source for the combo box.

Guess you need to (re-?) apply the formatting on the output field.
Personally I never use this formatting as it's more or less obsolete.

I just add the string when needed in the output field by using a Function. Thus changing the format is easily done by changing the function and the function can be used in queries to add the formatting when needed.

There are a large number of fields, so it needs to automated. I'm not a programmer, but a network engineer. Is there any way to do this without programming? Thank you, Ken

I have been using Access 2013 (in Office 365) with Windows 8.1 for about a month and a half now. I was a little reluctant to switch from 2010 on Windows 7, but I figured I should try stay ahead of the curve, and I also heard it had much better functionality for touch screen devices which I imagine are only going to get more and more popular. I...
