Is there any way to force the track numbers to use two digits? For example 01, 02, 03, 04, etc.

Thanks

Several possibilities:  
1 - use the track numbering wizard  
2 - an action of the type "format field" for TRACK with the format string $num(%track%,2)  
3 - only the display changes: set the column definition in "value" to $num(%track%,2)

Thanks I totally missed the "Leading zeros for track numbers" in the Auto Numbering Wizard.
