Hi Kerry
Is there any reason that you have to use tabs to do alignment, unless your
using a monospaced font, it almost always screws up royally. Why not do it
with simple html. You should be able to easily make a table in html. What I
tend to do is copy the html to the clipboard and paste it into a field, then
using the message window I do something along the lines of
member("someTextMember").html = member("myTempFieldMember").text
I haven't done this for a while so I might not have the syntax completely
right.
Sincerely
Mark
