DBText Fields .. using the Border property

edited April 2005 in General
Any easy way of having the Text print offset from the border, say a
character space. It doesn't look good with the text against the Border.

I know I can surround the text field with a transparent rectangle, but
the border with an offset would be neater.

    Hi Mike,

    There is small offset added to a text component when a border is added.
    This offset is very small and sometimes cannot be seen on screen due to the
    size of a screen pixel. If you zoom your preview to 250% you should be able
    to see it as well as if you print to paper. If you would like to add a
    character space before each DBText, you might try using the OnGetText event
    to change the value of that text on the fly.
