We have a standard Access listbox with multiple columns. Is there a way to have integer or currency columns right aligned?

No. The closest I've seen is JustiCombo which is a database containing functions to center and right justify data for List and Combo Boxes. It can use proportional fonts by analysing the font attributes and character widths. It too stuffs spaces in the front of the fields to make the data appear centre/right justified. It did the best it could but you could see a few jaggies. But then maybe I was being too critical.
