although you can use a custom format like "m/d/yyyy....................." I
don't think that would be very useful. I presume you want the last dot to end
very close to the next cell, but if the column with is not big enough you
would get ######.
Perhaps a combination of the above custom format and right aligning would
get the best result.

I want to add a leading dot to a cell so that it leads a bunch of dots to the
next cell. For example (hoping and assuming this will display correctly on
this post):

Cost for cleanup 8/28/2007.................................. $250.00

(where $250.00 is the next cell)
