-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Newton Sent: 29 September 2008 14:57 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Calculating text width Hi all If I create a label with Autosize set to .t. and the Caption set to "Period", the width of the label is 32 pixels (Font: Tahoma, Size: 8) However the expression txtwidth("Period","Tahoma",8)*FontMetric(6,"Tahoma",8) returns 30. Is there a way to more accurately calculate the width of the label ?
