Display Leading Zeros on a Number in Access

In this Microsoft Access beginner tutorial I'm going to teach you how to keep the leading zeros in front of a number such as a ZIP code, social security number, or any other type of data.

Mia from Annapolis, Maryland (a Gold member) asks: I'm new to Microsoft Access and I have ZIP codes from some of my customers that start with zero. Whenever I display them on a mailing label I'm only seeing four digits. I know in Excel you can type a single quote to keep that leading zero. How do I do this in Access?
