[AccessD] Formating Text in a .txt document?

Yes and no. :-(

YES:
Use a mixture of  Mid$(), Format$() etc  to put the fields  into a string to lay out the row.

Something like:

strHeader = "Qty    ItemID       Item Descr                                             Cost"
Print #ff, stHheader

While not rs.EOF
  strRow = Space$(80)
  Mid$(strRow,1,4) = format$(rs!qty,"###0")
  Mid$(strRow,8,12) = rs!(ItemID)
  Mid$(strRow, 21,48) = rs!(ItemDesc)
  Mid$(strRow,70,10) = format$(rs!,Cost,""###,##0.00")
  Print #ff, strRow
  rs.Movenext
Wend
NO:
The rows won't line up unless the recipient is viewing the data in a fixed width font.
