Draw.Text just write text left aligned from the specified position.

If you want right alignment, you can use that:

Draw.Text(Format(.rsTemp!fprice,"#,0##"), X, Y, W, H, Align.Right)

where X, Y, W, H are the dimension of a rectangle where the text will be drawn 
right aligned.

Be careful: the text is not clipped.
