I have a number field for zip code (perhaps it should be a text field) but -- in any case -- entering a zipcode like 06877 comes up 6877
 
Thank you.

This is by design. If you want to include leading zeros, use a text field (which will also handle extented zip codes 12345-234).
 
If you have a large number of such zip codes to transfer, you can use an equation:
NewTextField = OldNumberField and click on the Update button (in field management)
