[AccessD] Validating rules => check for 001

If the field is a number field you cannot have leading zeros.  Access will
always remove them.

You have a couple of options.  Here is 2:

1. Keep the number field, allow 1,2,3,4,5,6.  Use format to display all fields
on forms and reports as 001,002,003,004,005,006.  ie use format with "000"

2. Use a text field and only allow 001,002,003,004,005,006 to be entered.  Text
fields will keep it exactly as typed.

Stuart
