newbie question

[steel]

I made a math program that ask math question for kids age 9-12

at the end i have a rich text box that displays their answers

I wrote this program ona win 2000 box, in the rich text box i have a couple vbtab statements, when i run it on a 95 or 98 box sometimes the tabs do show and sometime they don't,
what could be a reson for this. I have tested it on many machines
thanks

What it sounds like here is different Tab sizes.

When you say they sometimes work and sometimes don't I am wondering if that is a result of the tab size falling dead on the size needed.

Example :

Tab Size 8
.......8.......8.......8.......8

One     Two     Three   Four    Five

Tab Size 4
...4...4...4...4...4...4...4...4
One Two Three   FourFive

Notice how it appears that there is no Tab between Four and Five because Four is exactly the number of characters for the Tab?

I am wondering if Win2000 is reading RTF in a different way than Win95/98 and so it is putting the tabs in differently or the base font is different to cause different size text.
