>>>Here's a question that may not really belong here but I haven't a clue as to where else to look for help.
>>>
>>>I have a web app that allows the user to edit the data tables and save the changes back to the site. This action also generates an email back to the user to document the changes he/she has made. The email should have the format of:
>>>
>>>
>>>Field        Old Value              New Value
>>>field1       olddata                newdata
>>>
>>>
>>>etc. So that the before and after values are clear and easy to read. I can do this with tabs to create the columns. However, if the name of the field, or the olddata value are wider than the tabstop, I end up with this:
>>>
>>>Field        Old Value              New Value
>>>field123          olddata                newdata
>>>
>>>So my question is - Is there a way to set the tab stop widths in an automatically generated email so that I can make sure there is enough room for the desired data without stepping on the next tab stop? My guess is that this is not possible but I thought it worth the asking.
>>>
>>>Thanks
>>
>>Why not build a HTML with table and send it?
>
>Does this suggestion anticipate an attachment? I could do it with word or excel but attachments present additional difficulties. I'd prefer to have it in the body of the email.
>Thanks Borislav
