Ahhhhh....

I just tried the following and it works:
txt = "title     "
txt = txt + "This is the first line" + chr(13)
txt = txt + space(10) + "This is the second line"

Thisform.mytextbox.value = txt
Caveats: If you're using proportionally spaced fonts it will be VERY hard to get things lined up.

If your textbox is too narrow and the box does some of the wrapping for you the formatting will be history.

I tried a grid but the second field is a memo field and in some cases you can not see all of the information. If I could figure out where in the memo that the text will wrap then I could put some tabs to make the text move over.
