How can I concatenate text with leading zeros

When I concatenate a number with leading zeros, the zeros are removed. How
can I retain them?

Dick,

Try & TEXT(A1,"00000") when concatenating?

If the numbers have leading zeros they are already text so should not drop the
zeros.

Unless, of course, the numbers are just formatted to show leading zeros.

In that case =TEXT(G7,"000000")&TEXT(G8,"000000")
