>>I've got a listbox that has several columns in it. The source is a SQL statement. The second column is created by the sql segment "transform(total, "$$$,$$$.99")" (just in case that's important). I need to line up the decimal points but don't know how. How can I get these numbers to line up? Thanks!

This is true, but numbers and spaces are NOT necessarily the same size. So ssss123.45 is not the same size as sss9876.54. I guess you could play around with TXTWIDTH until you got a match...
