export numeric field right alligned

I want to export from Access 2000 a numeric field (double) to a text
file. The export file should be fixed length (no delimiters), the
field should have 9 digits in total, including 2 decimals. I want the
field to be right aligned so that the decimal separator is always in
the same column in the text file. I don't want to fill any leading
blanks with zeros.
I tried to do this using the format function in a query but I always
end up with a left aligned table...
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Don't fill the leading blanks with zero's but with spaces...

I'm not sure how I can do that.
If the value of the record is eg. 1.23, I need to fill 6 leading
blanks with spaces. If the value is 1234.56, I need to fill 3 leading
blanks with zeros.
Can I do this using the format function?
Thanks

a = 123.45
? Right(string(10 ," ") & a,10)
123.45
or
? Right(string(10 ,space(1)) & a,10)
123.45

Hmmmm...I decided to check for a number like 123.50.
a = 123.50
? Right(string(10 ,space(1)) & a,10)
123.5
? Right(string(10 ,space(1)) & format(a,"0.00" ),10)
123.50
You might want to format to keep the ending 0's.

Everyone, I'm trying to export a table containing numeric fields with formats such as "00000000" which would return the value with some leading zeros. It works fine in the table as it is displayed as I want, the problem is that I lose the formats when I try to export the table to a TXT file; e.g. in the table the numeric field is displayed as 00034569 but it exports as 34569. I know I can convert the numeric field to "Text" with the...
