[AccessD] Right Justify in List Box

Hi Max

If you use the font MS Sans Serif for the listbox (goes for a combobox as well), you can use a recordsource like this:

  SELECT 
    SomeField,
    Format([AmountMin], Space(14-2*Len([AmountMin])-Abs([AmountMin]>1000)) & "#,##0") AS SMin, 
    Format([AmountMax], Space(14-2*Len([AmountMax])-Abs([AmountMax]>1000)) & "#,##0") AS SMax
  FROM 
    YourTable
  ORDER BY 
    SomeField;

This takes advantage of the fact that space and dot and comma for this font consume half a "space" while digits consume a full "space".
Not very fancy but it works.

Hi,

I am trying to get varying values in a LIST Box and have them right justified.

This won't do the trick...

strTotal = Format(Nz(rst!AcBalance, 0), "##,##0.00")
strTotal = Space(12 - Len(strTotal)) + strTotal

Varying values give varying spacing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Max
