question of formatting with PaddedForm

Hello all,

I am having some difficulties getting a formatted output to look like I
'think' it should look. What I want looks like this (three digits, padded
with leading zeros for numbers less than 100):

098
099
100
101
102
103
104
105


But, when I try this:

For[i = 98, i <= 105,
  Print[PaddedForm[i, 2, NumberPadding -> {"0", "0"},
SignPadding ->
False]];
  i++]


I get this:

098
099
0100
0101
0102
0103
0104
0105


I only want three digits, not the extra leading zero for values >= 100. Can
anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

        Jim

ps - I tried to post this a couple of days ago but it didn't show up.
