Aligning Multiple Columns in Msgbox

[Chris Macro]

I know I can probably do this with a userform but don't really want to mess around with recoding at this point.

I have a routine that eventually outputs something like the msgbox displayed below. The only problem is my tabulated spacing gets messed up when one of my words is too long (as shown in my example). Can anyone think of a workaround to address this?

Sub Example()

MsgBox ("Zoo" & vbTab & vbTab & 10 & vbTab & "1.0%" & vbNewLine & _
        "Exhibition" & vbTab & vbTab & 3 & vbTab & "1.9%" & vbNewLine & _
        "Popular" & vbTab & vbTab & 4 & vbTab & "1.7%" & vbNewLine & _
        "Manchester" & vbTab & vbTab & 9 & vbTab & "0.6%" & vbNewLine)
     
End Sub

I used 20 arbitrarily here, but anything exceeding the length of the longest individual string in your message should work. Not a pretty solution, but may serve until someone offers something better.

Sub Example()

MsgBox ("Zoo" & String(20 - Len("Zoo"), " ") & vbTab & vbTab & 10 & vbTab & "1.0%" & vbNewLine & _
        "Exhibition" & String(20 - Len("Exhibition)"), " ") & vbTab & vbTab & 3 & vbTab & "1.9%" & vbNewLine & _
        "Popular" & String(20 - Len("Popular"), " ") & vbTab & vbTab & 4 & vbTab & "1.7%" & vbNewLine & _
        "Manchester" & String(20 - Len("Manchester"), " ") & vbTab & vbTab & 9 & vbTab & "0.6%" & vbNewLine)
     
End Sub

Thanks Joe. I can definitely work with that! I'm curious if anyone has any other methods
