displaying text in a textbox

[Kate]

I want to display text in columns in a textBox, but can't set the position
of the tabs in the box.
I've used 'vbtab' , but you can't set the column/tab number.
Any ideas??

TIA
Kate

Textboxes don't do what you are looking for. You might try a RichTextBox
ActiveX control.

You don't. But, you can insert tab stops.

How? Sorry new to VB.NET

By literally setting the .text property with the character code for tab
(don't know it off the top of my head).
