Did you ever get a solution on it? I didn't see any messages in the thread with stars.

>>>Step 1: Change FIELD02's left to be the same as FIELD01's left
>>>Step 2: Change FIELD02's width to match its original right edge
>>>Step 3: Change FIELD02's expression to be something like this:
>>>

>>>    PADL(FIELD02, ExtraSpaces(FIELD01))
>>>

>>>Step 4: Create an ExtraSpaces( ) function:
>>>

>>>FUNCTION ExtraSpaces(lcField1Value)
>>>   ** Font info for field 1
>>>   lcName1 = "Arial"
>>>   lcSize1 = 12
>>>   lcStyle1 = "B"
>>>
>>>   ** Font info for field 2
>>>   lcName2 = "Arial"
>>>   lcSize2 = 10
>>>   lcStyle2 = "N"
>>>
>>>   lnTextWidth = TXTWIDTH(lcField1Value,lcName1,lcSize1,lcStyle1)*;
>>>            FONTMETRIC(6,lcName1,lcSize1,lcStyle1)
>>>
>>>   lnSpaceWidth = TXTWIDTH(SPACE(1),lcName2,lcSize2,lcStyle2)*;
>>>            FONTMETRIC(6,lcName2,lcSize2,lcStyle2)
>>>
>>>   lnSpaces = CEILING(lnTextWidth/lnSpaceWidth)
>>>
>>>   RETURN lnSpaces
>>>ENDFUNC
