   Printing columns of figures in report

   From: dimwit@loonybin.com   
      
   I am trying to print out a report in a VB6 program but can't get the figures   
   in a column lined up.  In QB it was simple.  Format all the numbers with   
   "###,###.##" or equivalent and print at a tab.  All the decimal points lined   
   up.  But it doesn't work in VB.  Thought I might need a fixed pitch font but   
   when I do Printer.FontName = "Courier".  No effect.  It stays on Arial   
   although Coure and Courf are in the fonts directory.   
      
   Can anyone help ?
