Dear friends.
i am trying to save an Id field which is set to autonumber in access 2007 and formated to "00000000". When saving records fro backend (access) it saved automatically in this format but when saving from vb6 it is saving only like 3,4 instead of 00000003 and 0000004.

Please help me.
Thanks

Dear friends
I have figured the answer for this question.
Here is the code

VB

Text1.Text = 1
Text1.Text = Format(Text1, "00000000")

Also please set the format for the Id field in access table to "00000000" first.

Thanks
