I need to use a formula that will start in the 15th position and have a field that is 15 characters in length and pad with leading zeros as needed depending on the length of theoriginal  field.  I was not specific enough in the previous example and it is truncatng the value. 

Appreciate your help.  I'm sure this is something really simple, that I'm missing, but now I'm getting an error message that "a boolean is required".  If I remove the or condition, it tells me I'm missing a parenthesis ")"  By the way I forgot to mention that EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE is a numeric field that I'm converting to text.  Thanks.

space(15) + (
if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=3 then "000000000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})
OR
if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=4 then "00000000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})
OR
if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=5 then "0000000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})
OR
if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=6 then "000000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})
OR
if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=7 then "00000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})

if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=8 then "0000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})
OR
if len(Cstr(ToNumber({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})))=9 then "000000" + totext({EMPLOYEE.EMPLOYEE})
 )

Appreciate your help, once again, but it just isn't working.  I am in Crystal Reports 8, so maybe it is the version that I have that brings the limitation.  The field only prints for some of the records, and then it prints the employee id with a format of commas and decimals.  For now, I will need to export it and reformat in Excel until I get it figured out.  Thanks again!
