UNTESTED:
Use two text boxes and a label. One text box Left Justified for the name or
Email, One text box Right Justified for the Phone and the Label Full of
dots. Set the Text Boxes for Autosize with the Label behind the text boxes
in the Z-order. If it is an email, then set the label and the Right text
box to VISIBLE = 'FALSE'
This is what I would try on my own first. What have you done so far?

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Justifying both sides of a report field
I?m creating a report which lists Name and phone number on one line,
separated by a line of dots:
Anderson, John . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(781)344-1222
Bones, Ellen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (617)211-1222
The line should be JUSTIFIED ? i.e., left side and right sides line up.
I?ve created an expression which fills the space between the name and number
with dots, but R:Base won?t let me justify the field on the report, even if
it's all combined into a column in a table. I?ve tried using DB Text and
Rich Text, but the justify option on the top of the screen is grayed out.
Without using the justify, the right sides don?t line up
To complicate matters, the phone number might be null AND below the name and
number, the client wants to print the email address, which also might be
null. Blank lines should be suppressed:
Anderson, John . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(781)344-1222
[email protected]
Bones, Ellen . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (617)211-1222
Carter, Andrew. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .(617)111-1111
[email protected]
Because of the potential blank lines, the best way to create the report is
using rich text fields, with mailmerge items in each one, and each rich text
inside a region. But? I can?t justify a rich text field.
Ideas?
