Is there any way that I can right-fill a printed string with dots? Like this:
ABCDEFG....................

Robert,

On the surface, it's pretty easy.

For a total of 40 spaces, add this to a query:

NewField: [YourField] & String(40 - Len([YourField]), ".")

But, with a proportional spaced font, it'll still look weird. You might change
the font to Courier or some other fixed pitch.

hth,
Wayne
