Why divided by 8? Shouldn't the logic be minus TabWidth instead, like this?

         CurrLineLen() < (MAXLINELEN - Query(TabWidth))

This should allow you to expand a TAB, regardless of the number of spaces 
it should be converted into, and still be certain that you haven't gone 
over the length limit. Of course, if your check is for more then 1 TAB at a 
time then that wouldn't work.

Jim
