This is probably the first time in probably 10 years I'm looking at the
field format in a table again.
I never used them because of never needed or wanted it.
 
I want to paper format an IBAN code which is 4 characters space 4
characters space 4 characters etc.
 
something like this 
1234 ABCD 5678 EFGH 90
 
The thing is that a IBAN code can be  34 character long wich means if
all 34 characters are used you have at the end 2 characters.
So I formated &&&& &&&& &&&& &&&& &&&& &&&& &&&& &&&& &&
But instead of aligning left it aligns right, so my code looks like 
12 34AB CD56 78EF GH90
instead of
1234 ABCD 5678 EFGH 90
 
How can I resolve this that the code is left aligned and not right?
I could write some code to do this, but this is like a real good
situation where I could use the format property of a field/control.
