You should be editing and viewing your data through a form, not directly in the
table view, so simply set the "Text Align" property of the textbox displaying
this field on the form to "Right".

That is correct. You can't "align" text in a table. You can only "align" the
display of the value in a form or report control. As the alignment of data has
nothing to do with storing or using the same, I wonder why you want to do this -
can you enlighten me?

I have been reminded by one of my peers that there is indeed a way to "align"
the display of data in the table view, but I want to make it clear that I, in no
way, condone the same for any more than providing a global method of aligning
the data when displayed in a form or report control, subject to any formatting
set up in any such control's properties. In table design view, you can set the
"format" property for the field to "* " (that's an asterisk followed by a
space - just ignore the change to "**" that Access will make to that). The data
in that field should then appear right-aligned.
Just remember that you didn't hear that from me. <g>
