I have a table field that has zeros as its first number, how do I get it to save the zeros?
 
It would have to be a text field rather than a numeric field. I might consider leaving it a number and formatting it with the leading zeros as appropriate.
 
you dont save it, instead on table design you can add Format property to add Leading zeros, eg:

Format: 0000
 
I strongly recommend that you NOT apply formats to data on tables. In the table you should be able to see the actual data. Format in a query or on forms and reports but NEVER apply formats on tables.
