How to write a MS Access query to convert a "number" field into "text" field

Since the “Number” field can not have leading zero’s; I have to convert (or update) the original “Numbers” and place them on a new text field; please kindly help me to:

First Issue: How to write a query to add a new text field with 6-Char long to the Test table.  Is it possible with query? or we have to use VBA for this adding?  If NOT, please guide us via VBA code to add 6-char long text field.

Second issue: How to write a query to convert a 4-digit numbers (i.e. “3040”) to 6-Char long text which contain 4-digit values with 2 padded Zero’s (i.e. “003040”)

Please see the attached filed for better picture.

Thanks.
