Can anyone tell me what type of text is the same width for each character? In
my report I have quite a few labels that just won't line up because the text
is of varying number of characters Each has dots after to aid alignment i.e.

First Name ...............
Last Name ................
Phone ......................

As you can see above the right does not line up and looks odd on the page.
I can left align to line up one side but then the other side does not line
up, and the same for right alignment
 
Alternatively Sam, if you want to keep your current font see:
http://www.lebans.com/leaderdots.htm
LeaderDots.zip is a database containing functions to allow a user to fill in
the space between 2 controls with leading dots.

NEW - Feb. 15/2000 Ver 2.0. You can now use the Alignment property for both
the Left and Right Columns. Fix formatting Bug on long lines.

New Jan. 02/2001 A "real" Phone Book Report based on a modified version of
LeaderDots. Created by Chad Edie. Really Sharp! TelephonePhoneBook.zip

Version 1.0 includes 2 functions. One for Single output lines and one for
Multiple output lines

Produce leading dots between 2 strings.
Like you see on Menu's etc. For example:
Hamburger..........$3.99
HotDog...............$2.99
The Singleline version supports Left, Right
and Center Alignments for the
Left Column. The MultiLine version only supports Left Alignment.
