I am trying to create a report with a table-like format. Each row contains a variable number of elements, and I'd like each column to line up. For example:

Row1Item1 Row1Item2 Row1Item3
Row2Item1 Row2Item2
Row3Item1 Row3Item2 Row3Item3 Row3Item4

While regular textboxes do not handle 'tab' characters (vbTab) correctly, ActiveX Microsoft Form 2.0 textboxes do. Unfortunately, no matter what the fontsize, the tab spacing is always the same (the spacing does not change proportionally to the font size). I cannot figure out how to change the spacing between the columns manually.

I've been unable to find any Forms 2.0 documentation on the web. Does anybody know how to accomplish this or have a pointer to good documentation?

I know that this is easy with fixed-width fonts, but Courier is ugly and takes up too much space.

Thanks!
