[AccessD] $ Aligment in Combo Boxes

The simple answer is Yes you have to write code and even then it won't
line up properly.  The problem is that the data in comboboxes is
actually in strings and the currency format is not simply right aligned
text, it leaves room for parens or a negative number indicator.  Plus
numbers are not a consistent width.  You can call it a bug if you like,
but numbers align differently from text, so it causes problems when you
switch between the two.

Subject: [AccessD] $ Aligment in Combo Boxes

This is driving me crazy..............my first item in a two column
combo box is formatted in currency and the second is simply text.

The currency will not right align!   I have googled the topic and find
many 
other questions about this problem with no answers that are simple and
quick.  Do I reall have to write a module to correct this?

Sounds like a microsoft bug to me!
