  Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

If( Length ( number )<numberOfDigits; ZeroLeading("0" & number;numberOfDigits); number ) Click to copy

This function uses recursivity to append as many zeros as required to the number.
The advantage of this method is that it does not require a "buffer" of any size...
