I'm using Arial because this form has to be used at several thousand different companies, and I have to be sure they have the font installed (or get inot licensing fonts and installing them). Also I have to match an existing preprinted form, Arial Narrow 7 or 8 point is the closest match to most of the text.

I was not clear that I'm NOT generating the form at run time, but am hacking an older version of the form, by treating the form as a DBF, and using a FoxPro program to add new records to the DBF, then I'm extracting data from the DBF and copying it into an .FRX and .FRT file. Therefore using thisform.attributes may be somewhat difficult.

There are actually two forms created, each with two pages full of fields and labels, in total there are about 1700 fields and labels stuffed into the forms.
