How to I do a query to match numbers but exclude the leading zeros?

I have 2 tables that i'm doing an equal join to. The 2nd table has leading zero to the numbers so it's making it difficult for me to find any matches.

ex

table 1 table 2
12345 012345

But not all numbers on these columns have a leading zero so I can't do a trim. What should i do?

Thanks!

You could try adding CLng() around both fields in the join.

Thank you!! This forum has always been a great resource for me!!
