Gotcha - a message box!! Not easily especially as proportional fonts
create another problem. Why not create a custom UserForm to emulate a
MsgBox and use that, you then have total control of how things are displayed
and laid out. I would!

Can that be done within a Msgbox? That is currently how I display what I
want.

Example (code used to display via msgbox):
Const sfmt As String = "$##0.00"
answer = Space(brsspc) & "Belton (" & FormatDateTime(brsdate,
vbShortDate) & "): " & Format(brs, sfmt) & _
vbLf & Space(fixspc) & "Palmetto (" & FormatDateTime(pasdate,
vbShortDate) & "): " & Format(pas, sfmt) & _
vbLf & Space(ttlspc) & "Total: " & Format(brs + pas, sfmt)
ans = MsgBox(answer, vbOKOnly, "Current Payperiod - Estimated Pay")

NOTE: The Space() function is used to determine indent from left since
the
date lenght my differ. I am wondering if I need to determine the same
thing
for the amount.

Thanks,
Les

I use a commandbutton to display gross pay of the current payperiod for
two
part-time jobs. It takes three lines and for the most part, everything
lines
up.

Problem is if the length of one amount is different than the other,
then
they do not line up. Example: $98.00 will not line up with $135.00
since
one
has 3 numbers to left of decimal and the other is only 2 numbers to the
left.
I tried FORMAT(amt,"##0.00") and FORMAT(amt,"000.00"). The amounts
will
not
be greater than $999.99.

What format can I use to insure columns line up?

Thanks,
Les
