>It is very difficult, if not impossible, to get portional fonts to align properly when using spaces to set the alignment. It's simply due to the fact that each character has its own specific width. You're far better of, it terms of ease of doing this by using a non-proportional font.

Hey George,

Cetin had a work-around using the ColumnWidths property, but I was checking out the FontMetric() and TxtWidth() functions to see if there was anyway I could use them with other stuff I have. Seems like they could have been handy for some past reporting issues. Have you used them in your own stuff before? If so, what types of things were you doing?
