Default fields and underlines

Hi j lunis,

Simple: Add a right-aligned tab after the field, with the tab-stop positioned wherever you want the underlining to stop, then
underline both the tab and the field.

I have spent a lot of the morning researching and playing with a form and can't find the answer.
I want to have a line similar to
NAME: __________________________________________
with the underline at a fixed length when printed.
On the underline I want a field that can be of varying length (but not longer than the underline.
I can get the fixed length underline and I can get the filed but I can find no way to get both.
