MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / January 2006infopath strips leading zeros from input
I have a text box bound to a string. When I input numbers with leading zeros into the box, infopath strips away the zeros. Is there a way to stop this from happening so that I can store strings like "01" and "001"? Thanks You likely have your field datatype as a whole number. If you set the datatype to text, then it will store the zeros.  SignatureGreg Collins [InfoPath MVP] Visit http://www.InfoPathDev.com I have a text box bound to a string. When I input numbers with leading zeros into the box, infopath strips away the zeros. Is there a way to stop this from happening so that I can store strings like "01" and "001"? Thanks Thanks for the response Greg. My form is actually based on an external schema. The test box was originally bound to a number, but I changed it to a string in the schema. After converting the data source, it seems some of the number-related formatting was still left in the infopath xsl. I deleted the text box and created a new one which fixed the problem. Thanks again. |
