MSFlexGrid - font metrics available for adjusting column widths?
Please do not multipost but rather crosspost to your selected NG's at
one time.
See:
http://www.lebans.com/textwidth-height.htm
TextHeightWidth.zip is a replacement for the Report object's TextWidth
and TextHeight methods. It is multiline aware and can work in both
Report and Form views. Includes a sample report to show you how to
autosize individual controls with different formatting on the same line
to simulate RTF style text.
