>Hi Dragan, I wish that would do it. I changed the fonts to Lucida Console, also non proportional, and made fields are right aligned. The problem has to do with the fact that labels are presented at design time with one method and at run time with another (DGI vs DGI+, I believe). The one at run time makes labels longer. Since they start in the correct position the result is they end further to the right. Fields do not have that problem.

It may be too late, since the VFP team does not want to open the VFP file. This is one of the few shortcomings I find in the language we all love.

Just shows how long it's been since I last did any serious work in reports :). Nowadays it's always "show as xls" or "show as html". The last reports I had to write were probably four years ago. I'm obsolete as frx-master.
