how do you get a zero to be recognized on an interactive form when it is entered as the first number?

In a numeric field, how do you get a zero that is entered first to be acknowledged? I have an interactive form and one of the fields is for a docket number. Every year the first number is 0001. When a client types in "0001" the answer populated is just "1" and the zeros aren't recognized and they need to be.

Set the field's Format to Special and select Arbitrary Mask, and then enter "9999" as the mask.

Either that or just set it to None.

Thank you so much...the arbitrary mask worked perfectly. You saved my day!
