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.

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!
