Hi All,

I am working in vfp 8 sp1. I have to replace some labels in reports with other words, that are not the same len as the original.

When in design mode, and the label is not exactly the length of the word(s), if you click on the label and move it or cntrl+arrow key, the label adjusts to the exact length of the word(s). Is there any way to make it do this without opening it in design mode?

I already have code in the translate program that exchanges word(s) in the labels that takes into account, the difference in lenght by:

 lcScaleFactor = LEN(lcReplaceWord) / LEN(lcTranslateWord)
 ...
 replace (pcWidthName) WITH (&pcWidthName.) * lcScaleFactor
...

but this does not always get the width long enough. Some times the width is too long, but that is better then too short.

TIA
Beth
