when i type in 00098 & ENTER or TAB the 000 disappears & only 98 appears. How
do i get all of 00098 to appear.

we use excel 2000.

cheers
 
You can Format the cell as text, (Right click the cell, 'Format Cells' >
'Number' > check 'Text') before you enter the value, or prefix the number
with '
like '015472. The ' will show in the formula bar, but not in the cell. Note
that if you do this the number will be text, not a true number and certain
functions may not behave as expected.
Regards,
Alan.
 
If you only wish to have the cell appear that way

Format/Cells/Number and select Custom from the Category Window and enter
"00000" (without the ""'s)
