I meant tab leader dots, not "ellipsis", sorry. It took me a while to get the Word automation to work, I just was curious if this had been done using a total vfp solution.

A leader is multiple characters used to fill a variable space. They ain't the same thing although they look quite similar. I don't know of anyway to do that in VFP and you know how to do it in Word. IMHO it seems like a lot of work to use automation to produce this. Maybe you should consider a design change.
