Microsoft Visual Basic: Column alignment in TextDoc

I write my reports to text documents, becuase the applicatioons open fast and have limited options. However one feature that challaneges me is the alignmentof the fields. As previous fields have less or more text leangth it miss aligne the next colume. Is there any eway for me to contrl this?

Also how do I only alow one copy of the Text application to be open at a time. I want he new copy to replace the old.

Regards,

Ron

this font has a fixed width for all letters (Like the Old Dos text editors :P)
