Accept Initial Zero

Question

In a CBT application we're currently developing, each
location will enter a unique indentifier of 4 digits, already
assigned, upon initial use. Unfortunately, several locations were
assigned 3-digit numbers and should therefore begin the entry with
a 0. Is there any code that will prompt the program to accept the
leading zero?

'Leading Zeros...'
Check that for whatever text style you're using in your text
entry field.
