Hi Kevin,
"ColumnAlignments" is unfortunately no option of "TableForm". Read the
help carefully. It is an option of "GridBox". Here is an example how you
would format a 2-dim table of data with 3 digits aligned at the dcimal
point:
GridBox[Map[NumberForm[#, 3] &, data, {2}], ColumnAlignments -> "."] //
DisplayForm
