I'm working in a query in Access 2003 and I need the "ProgramCode" field to return a 5 digit alphanumeric code with leading spaces. The program codes are actually 1 to 3 character alphanumeric codes. I can get it to work with numeric codes only, but I'm having a problem with alphanumeric. I'd appreciate any help I can get.

SkipVought,
I'm exporting a text file from Access so that I can ftp the file in the format that is required. Below are the instructions given to me .
ProgramCode must be a 5-digit alphanumeric code such as
‘ Z’. All program codes currently are only 1 to 3 digits and must have leading spaces.
PHV,
I tried your suggestion and it worked.
Right(" " & ProgramCode, 5)
Thanks to both of you!
