I export an a2k table to a .txt file using Transfer Text in
a macro with a file spec. All is well except I need the
amount fields (defined in the spec files as Double) to be
right justified. They come out left justified. I want the
decimal point and trailing zeros. Lead zeros not
necessary but I'll take them if I must.

TIA

Use a query for the export and use a format statement to format
the amount field.

examples:
Amount: format(rs!Amount, "###,###.00")
or
Amount: format(rs!Amount, "000,000.00")

Lookup "User defined numeric formats" in help.
