tab as just a tab

[Guest]

This is a silly question, but I am setting up a report to create labels and I
want to line up som text. I would like to "tab them over", but the tab key
selects the next text box. I know in excel ctrl+tab creates a tab, but this
doesn't seem to work. Is there any way to do this?

Standard Access controls won't properly represent a Tab. You would have to use
spaces. Even if you use copy and paste to get a Tab character into your data a
standard TextBox will just display it as a small rectangle.
