How to not display leading zeros in text field?

[Guest]

My text field has street names; some are words, some are numbers (ex: 6th
St). Numbered streets have from one to three digits. I use leading zeros to
get numbered streets to display in order. How can I get the leading zeros to
not display?

Can you give an example of how you store the street names? Is it in one
field? Do you put the numbered part of the address in a separate field?

Rob, the number is not in a separate field. The reason is that the field
contains project titles, and sometimes the project starts with a street name
(ex.: 6th Street at Wilshire Widening). We have a protocol for naming
projects. Other names begin with words. So the numbered street is part of
the larger field. Currently, I use 3 digits (ex: 006th Street. . .) because
we have some 3-digit street names. Can I make the leading zeros not appear?

Follow this lead. This should help you out. I checked this via the immediate
window in Access.

? cint(left("006th North West",3)) & right("006th North West", len("006th
North West")-3)
6th North West

Let me know how it works out.
