Location: Middlebury, CT                Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to create tab stops in a TextArea Control.  In 
one textbox, I want two columns.  I want the second column to be perfectly 
aligned, so any text under will justify perfectly.  If I just use the space bar 
and move to that next column, each new line is slightly off because 
proportionally spaced fonts.

I was wondering if there was a way to make tab stops so that all text in the 
second column will line up perfectly?

I was also thinking about using a listbox with two columns to accomplish the 
same thing, but I would want all text displayed in the listbox to be able to be 
saved to a single field in a database file. I am also not sure how you make the 
listbox editable.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jim
