Hi

I think you are working on the tables. Don't do this - work in a query or
on a form.

If you want to add dots to the end of one field then you could define a set
width for the field (this would copy right the appliccation if you wanted it
to) then format the field so show full stops for any digit that is not taken
up by a letter or number
