Auto fill control

[PF]

Hi all,

I want to have the remaining part of a field in a report
automatically filled with "."

that is, if the field has 10 cm used, and it is 20 cm
long, I want the last 10 com filled with "."

Hope that I was able to explain myself.

Thanks in advance,

PF

Can you use a 20 cm text box with a control source of:
=[FirstPartField] & String(100, ".")

Try setting the text box's Format property to
@*.

Check Format Property in Help for details.
