I have a system designed arounf Outlook 2007 using VB6.
The system generates Email Confirmations to the clients which involve listing the products that they have purchased, e.g.

Description   Qty  Price Order Discounts                          Order Total
Product 1        1         12.39 No discounts on this item             12.39
Product 2        1           9.27 10% Discount Applied                   9.27

etc etc etc.
This string is built up from a dataset using a combination of padded strings, e.g.

ProdDesc = Format(DatasetValue, "!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@")
ProdPrice = Format(DatasetValue, "@@@@@@@")
etc etc
Email string = ProdDesc & ProdPrice ..... & vbcr

I end up with a string which does not line up.

I have also tried using fixed strings with vbtab but this also doe not always line up.

Anyone got any other ideas?
