Re: Leading Zeros?

That's fine advice to the people designing the labeling system in the first place. But if you're implementing a database that manages data from a preexisting schema, you don't usually have the luxury of changing the way ID numbers are assigned. If the system already makes use of significant leading zeroes, you have to accomodate that.
