    printing tab characters

    I have a formatted page of text that I'm trying to print using StreamWriter.Write and it doesn't seem to understand vbTab. If I write the text to a file, the tabs show up fine but when printed to hard copy there's no white space where the tabs should be.

    Anybody have an idea what's up with that?

    Thanks

    Have you tried \t?

    Yeah, "\t" prints literal, Chr(9) does nothing just like vbTab. This is very frustrating.

    How about - Dim c As String = Convert.ToChar(Keys.Tab)
