Right alignment text field

Assuming you are entering the data into a text box on a form and not directly
into a table, you can set a text box's text alignment and margins on the
property sheet. To see the property sheet, right click the text box and
click Properties. Click the Format tab. If you like, you can emulate the
look of a table by using Datasheet as the default view for a form.

This must have ben asked a lot, but can't find how to do it.
I want a text field (lets say 10 char long) to be stored right align padded
with blanks on the left (or even some other character like _ if there is no
other way).
This is because I want "80A" to be smaller than "555C" and smaller than
"33333X".
I would like this to be done as the user enters the information, not with
some other process done afterwards.
Thanks all.
