Hi all,

Every time I select a particular ID that is displayed automatically through a drop down list, it shows the correct ID format (e.g. 0001) but whenever the record is saved, the ID format will change to 1 only.

In the database, I've set the serial auto number for the ID to 0001 increment by 1 and on the layout, I've set the number format for the ID field to "General Number".

Does anyone know on how to fix this?

Thank you.....

Rgds,

Change your ID to text. It may not appear logical but, believe me, it's the only way to go. You can leave your auto-enter serial to 0001; no problem there. But because it will be text, the leading zeros will remain.

change the format of your field to text.

It's a tie, except you win.
