The normal TAB key behavior on most controls is to move to the next control, so you normally would not be able to do this. But you can probably intercept the TAB in the KeyPress event of the control and programatically go back to the control inserting the desired number of spaces or even a TAB character by using the KEYBOARD command.

The problem then becomes that the TAB key will not jump to the next control on the form when this is what the user wants and expects. :)
