Resurrecting a question for which I haven't seen an answer:

If I choose the built-in format "###,##0.00  ;###,##0.00CR"
Forms, list boxes and quick reports look like:
    123.45|
123.45CR|
(difficult to model with proportional font - trying to show positive and 
negative both all the way to the right)

I want:
123.45    | << spaces after positive number
123.45CR|

That is, decimals aligned. Why is the blank space in the positive section of 
the format definition ignored?

I've gone way over the allowed (time spent tinkering) / (perceived benefit) 
ratio on this!
Have tried "#,##0.00"+Char(32)+Char(32)+";#,##0.00CR" with OBJECT SET FORMAT, 
also Char(202)

I verify that this worked correctly in a previous life (4D 6.7, Windows).
Currently 4D 15.4, Mac OS 10.12.4

Thanks,
Malcolm
