Formatting Numbers as Text

[spaulding]

Need a little help here, and this should be easy, but I can't figure it out. I've got a form I built in Acrobat 6 to be displayed on our Intranet where all users have Reader 7. The form has a text field where they will input a budget code. This code uses numbers, but some of the codes begin with zero. I need those leading zeros to be displayed and currently, it seems Acrobat reads them and converts them to a number format (e.g. 001 is displayed as 1). I've tried formatting the text field with "none" as the format option and used a special format of OOO, but neither seems to make a difference. Am I missing an option somewhere, or is there another way to do this?
I appreciate the help.

Well, I finally found the answer at PlanetPDF.Com. You have to format the field as custom and apply a Javascript to it.

If my field name is "budgetcode", the Javascript would be

var budgetcode=this.getField("budgetcode").valueAsString;
