Hi Eric

>>_SCREEN.fontname = "My Font" && whatever you fontname is.

You are WONDERFULL! I would never have thought of doing that! although I was aware of how to set the font in the various designers. Thanks for all of of your help.

Now my only problem is in working with private datasessions and the way they re-re-initialise the default SETtings, I have it cracked for forms that have a dataenvironment using beforeopentables() to call my SETs program but am struggling where to place it in programs that call reports - but that's another story.
