preceding zero truncated

[saengpole]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie in VB2005. I have a trouble getting text from textbox and
combobox.SelectedValue. The values reside on two controls are text.
But they are in numeric text eg. product code '006700'. When I got
these texts, the preceding zero was truncated to '6700'. How can I get
the text '006700'.

Thank you in advance.

By getting it as a string and keep it that way. If you convert it to a
number, leading zeroes will be lost.

Maybe I don't understand your question, of course has every numeric value no
preceding zeros, however as you want preceding zeros in a string then,
