Cetin resolved an earlier issue (thread #524206) and gently clarified the difference between a Combobox and a Listbox to me :-), but now I'm having a heck of a time getting the columns to align correctly when the Combobox is clicked on. I'm combining fields in the SQL so the first column contains the information I need after selecting the item. I've tried using PADR, column width, string functions and different fonts to no avail. With a font like Arial the columns zig-zag around depending on the length of the field value (even when using PADR) and with fixed length fonts the dropdown becomes too wide, although they seem to be aligned straight.

So, the gist of it seems to be that I can get a nicely aligned drop down if I don't mind having only the first field value displayed after selecting an item, or I can have a nicely displayed value of my combined fields after selecting, but the dropdown itself displays poorly.

Is there a property having to do with the fonts or something that I'm not seeing? And, I'm used to being retold the obvious, so no feelings will be hurt in that arena either... Thanks!

Regards, Renoir
