I cannot start a series on numbers begining with 0 (zero) without the 0 being dropped when entering the number
When signing into a website if the security number begins with zero, ie 0123. when hitting the enter key the zero is deleted as the number is not accepted

Interesting situation. I can understand how initial creation and later use/entry might differ, and I'd bet a nickle that no one tested your senerio.
Numericallly, and on any calculator, 00022 divided by 0007 is going to give you Pi (3.14159), without the leading zeros in front of the 3, but as a string (any text characters), zero would certainly be retained.
If their code (program instruction) required 8 digits, even all zeros would be valid, but on the minicomputer I'm experienced in, a non-numeric character in a numerica calculation, ie addition, would result in zero, (or null) and zero might be a confirmation for 'this is not a valid entry.' (IF RR+0= OR RR+0=0 THEN GOSUB 900;GOTO 200)

If the field you are writing in is a test field, it should record what you enter. If it's a numeric field, the leading zeros would be dropped.
What is it you are filling in?
