How do I format/pad a number to have at least 5 digits?

[kakiebos]

I'm working on a macro which involves generating a filename and saving an excel sheet as pdf with that name.
I was able to generate target folder name as follows.

user_name [/FONT][/COLOR]= Environ$("UserName")
file_dir ="C:\Users"& user_name &"\Documents\Jobs"</code>The file name is created as follows.

<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">Job_No = Site &"SV"& num_from_cell
PDF = Job_No &".pdf"
file_path = file_dir & PDF</code>Currently the above code returns MWSV234.pdf. I want it to be MWSV00234.pdf. num_from_cell comes from one of the cells in excel sheet.
In short, I want to left pad <code style="margin: 0px; padding: 1px 5px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; background-color: rgb(239, 240, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;">num_from_cell</code> to 5 digits. Could you please tell me how?

Job_No = Site &"SV"& Format(num_from_cell,"00000")

Sorry. I posted the same question in another forum and just copied my question from there to this forum. I do not know how to link it to this thread.

Simply go to the other thread, highlight and copy the entire URL, and then paste it in a reply here. The board should automatically turn that URL in a link for you (you do not need to do anything special with it).

Some advice too. When posting a question, pick a forum to post it to, and then give it some time before posting the question on other forums. You don't just want to post the same question on multiple forums right away.

It also looks like you posted it twice on this forum. Please do not do that. Note that sometimes posts from new users require Moderator approval before you can see them on the public forums. When this happens, you should see a message to that effect when you try to post it. Please be patient and do not attempt to post the question again.

I am going to merge the two threads together.
