Me too, but I had some mixed results with this approach. In other words, it was almost perfect, but not precise.

Let me try to find my old thread.

>>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
