Hi all,
did someone notice that the TABs do not respect the set
margins of a field?
Example:
I have a field where i set the margins to "60,4,4,4" because i need 
some
"room" on the left side...

But when i set the tabstops they do not "respect" the margins...?
The tabstop STAYS at 140 or whatever and therefore i cannot use the
"vgrid" property to display the text in the field correctly...
Know what i mean?
 Create a field with a wide left margin, set the TABS, put some tabs 
and text
 into it and turn on the "vgrid"...

Et voila, completely "out of sync" :-(
Bug or feature?

Regards
Klaus Major

Hi Klaus,
May be you will consider this a work around but why not format the tabs 
and use the tabs to show the text in the cell you want?
like for example:
constant origTabs = 30,30,30,30,30,30,30,30,30  ---- or whatever format

on resetcolumns
    set the tabstops of fld 1 to origTabs
end resetcolumns
on showcolumn x
   get origTabs
   put <widecellvalue> into item x of it
   set the tabstops of fld 1 to it
end showcolumn
Greetings,
WA
