i have some data in database (ACCESS) which looks like this:-

Id  SName
1   GLE1/001
2   01
3   498
4   HYEP/0089

now, when i retrieve the data to datatable from this query
"Select Id,Format(SName) from Item".
It gives me the following record:-

Id  SName
1   GLE1/001
2   1          //here "01" got converted to "1"
3   498
4   HYEP/0089

The Name field's datatype is Memo Or LongText.
Why is it converting "01" to "1"?

Solution 1

Because you are using the FORMAT function:

"The Microsoft Access Format function takes a numeric expression and returns it as a formatted string."
http://www.techonthenet.com/access/functions/numeric/format.php[^]

So in order to pass it a numeric value, the string "01" is converted to a number - 1 - and then FORMATED back to a string...

Take the FORMAT out and it should do what you want.
