Default Displaying 0 values in a field

Just setting up my first table.

How do I display zero values in a field ie: want a range from 00 to 99 but
would like both values to be displayed.

EG: 00 to be displayed as 00, 01 to be displayed as 01 etc.

Thanks very much

Set the Format property of the form or report control in which you're
displaying the field to "00".

If it's a number field be aware that 1 and 01 and 000001 are all exactly the
same number. If you want to make a distinction between 01 and 1 you should use
a text field, not a number.
