RE: How to format display ?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

additem space(25-len(part_nbr) & part_nbr) & space(31-len(description) _
&formatdatetime(date, vbGeneralDate)

This will do it. Notice space(31 for description. It is 1 longer than the
field length, so will always show a space. Also, quit using +, it is a math
sign. Proper coding for string concatenation is &. I know + works, but it
is a holdover from Basic version B.C.
