Scaling an individual field

rbuser

I have a field that needs to print in a limited space, and periodically the
contents are too long for the available space. I would like to be able to
check the field before printing each record and reduce the font size until
the contents fit. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Jim,

Thanks a bundle for this incredibly useful code! I just modified the
component width calculation from utInches to Report.Units, so it will work
with all of my reports. (I design some reports in millimeters.)

Thanks again!
