Dear all:
I tried to add value of field to variable, then var to EDITBOX. the strange thing is all they are 40 character(with red underline). but have different look.
the picture A3 show length of third colunm, you could see thare 60characters for each one of third column. Meanwhile they do not look like having same length.
Therefor, I could not make next columnn left aligement.
Could anyone help!
Best Regards

Fonts used are true types ? To get a same visual length you sould used same fonts and true type. Character "i" is not same length than "O" character. All characteres True types fonts are with same length and you should used it for concatenation proposes and in good order for visual proposes. Otherwise use grids to display all these itens.

Dear Pablo César
thanks for your resopnd.
Gird is not the one of options because of fail to copy multi items at the same time.
Is that following the way to set font of editbox 'true type' ?

define editbox
........
font 'true type'
......
end editbox
