annoyance: tabs in datasheets

[tom]

Hey All,

I am storing some text that contains tab characters in a memo field.
When I view the data (simply by double-clicking the tablename in the
database window), I see 2 different behaviors.

The nice behavior appears when using my coworker's computer, where
tabs appear as little "unprintable character" sort of boxes in the
text. The painintheneck behavior is on my machine, where it seems
Access is trying to actually display the tabs, but it gets all
confused.

We are both using the same datasheet fonts as specified in
Tools-Options-Datasheet. I can't seem to find any other option that
would impact this. WEIRD.

Both computers are running Access 2002 on Win XP.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks,
-Tom
