I have two newbie questions: The first is how do I get the current date to
print on a report?
The second question refers to formatting. I have a list box that I am
populating from a vector I am using the form :
     CountHolder.addElement (filename +"              "  + filer.list
().length );

The problem is that each filename is a different length, and therefore the
filer.list().length parts do not line up in the list box. The result looks
like

Anypoint    5
Toy   3
majorfoobar   18

How can I format the Vector elements so that the numbers line up?

Thanks!
Sara
