    Here are a couple of way to do it:

    select
 M1 = right(1000000+MyNumber,4) ,
 M2 = right('0000'+convert(varchar(20),MyNumber),4)
from
 (
 select MyNumber=1 union all
 select 10 union all
 select 44 union all
 select 7777 union all
 select 9999 union all
 select 111
 ) a
    Results:
    M1   M2   
---- ---- 
0001 0001
0010 0010
0044 0044
7777 7777
9999 9999
0111 0111
    (6 row(s) affected)

    Thought I'd add one... see "M3"...

    select

      M1 = right(1000000+MyNumber,4) ,

      M2 = right('0000'+convert(varchar(20),MyNumber),4),

      M3 = REPLACE(STR(MyNumber,4),' ','0')

    from

      (

      select MyNumber=1 union all

      select 10 union all

      select 44 union all

      select 7777 union all

      select 9999 union all

      select 111

      ) a

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
