Default Creating a full path, need help with leading zero's

I need to format a series of numbers that are of different lengths to have
leading zeros to be 7 digits. I need these to be able to be merged with 2
other cells to create a field that is a path to photos, to use in a
Publisher merge.
So in cell A1, I have the first part of the path: C:\Documents and
Settings\My Documents\My Pictures\F.
In cell B2 I have the numbers (different numbers like 9, 40, 123, 4567, and
34567) that need to go after the path.
Then I have in cell C2 I have .jpg.
If I use format, custom, 0000000 it works until I merge the cells together.
When they are merged I get C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My
Pictures\F40.jpg. I need it to be C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\My
Pictures\F0000040.jpg
