Building a Table of Contents

Joseph Abrigo

I need to build a table of contents for a report.
it will have a heading and page number.
I have to export it to PDF and I am required to have dots between the heading and page number. Like this
HEADING..........................Page#
I have a table with the data fields, but don't know how to print the dots.

Does this help? Dot Leaders in forms

could not get it to work. I don't understand the String function (Sorry). don't Need the currency part either.

	Joseph Abrigo OP @Reply 3 years ago
Well, I got it to create the dots, but my HEADING field is rich text and they output of the NewField with the dots has the rich text coding included. In my Table of contents, some of the Headings are bolded. Hence the Rich Text

The only way I can think of that this will look good is if you use a monospace to font like Courier new otherwise the dots aren't going to line up exactly or your currency amount won't be in exactly in the right column if you want to use a regular font like Arial or Tahoma it's going to look weird and not line up correctly
