Hello, I'm trying to make a track list with 2 digits: 01, 02 , 03 etc... I'm using the format value \> track \> $num(%track,2) but it just gives me : 00, 00, 00 for all the tracks. What am I missing here? I searched around and everyone seems to be using the above input. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong would be great! Thanks, Snippetz ---

You forgot a percent sign. $num(%track%,2) ---

If the TRACK field is still empty, then use the numbering wizard. Or do you already have some padded numbers but used the letter O (ou) instead of the number 0 (zero)? 01 -\> stays 01 O1 -\> becomes 00 ---
