If all you want to do is display it with a 0 in front, but want to keep it
a number for calculations and such, than just do this....
<cfif len(num) eq 1> 0#num# <cfelse> #num# </cfif>
It'll check to see if it's only 1 digit, and if so, it'll place that 0 in
front. Otherwise, just display the number. That way, they'll stay numbers,
and not become strings.
