Hi this does not seem to work any ideas

tabs aren't seen in html when it's rendered, view the source from unix junky's code and the tabs will be there
you could consider using a table for formatting, though a table won't be much use to you here, because you're in a drop down

try using non breaking spaces  

print "<OPTION VALUE=\"$preselect\">Week\($week)[COLOR=red][b]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[/b][/color]Used Picks-----$postpick</OPTION>\n";

that's 16 non breaking spaces, assuming 8 to a tab, and there's two tabs, you'll proabably need to significantly reduce this
