I want to format these values like 04256, 08967, 05677.

Your query column that is returning a double like 123.1 could be made to return a string like 12310 by using this on the first line of the column in the query:

ShowMe:Right("00000" & cstr(dblOriginalValue*100),5)

I'm assuming that dblOriginalvalue is however you're getting those original numeric values of 42.56, etc., and also that you aren't anticipating any value over 999.99 to be returned (or it would need to be more than 5-characters wide).

Hope this helps some.
