How can I force a number to be 3 digits? If someone enters a 1 can I have
Access store 001.

"001" is not a number -- it is text. Change you field to text and set the
format.

look at formatting it as it's displayed, not when it's being stored
(assuming your data is always a number)
store
3
change the formating of the control showing it to 000
displays as
003
