Francesco,

SET MEMOWIDTH isn't going to affect the appearance of the memo in either the EditBox or the field on the report.

I think you are running into a fontmetric difference between the Screen font and the Printer font. You will have to adjust either the form or the report to make one exactly like the other. But that might never really be possible because of the data itself and the proportional font character kerning.

>I need to print an editbox exactly as it appears...that's no easy. I choosed: Arial Narrow 11 no bold for the editbox and for the field in a report, then replaced a memo field to be printed. Memowidth is set to 84, but the print preview is different from the editbox. Trying to understand the problem I used the memlines() function into the editbox; I see three lines in the window, memlines() says four...as I can see in the print preview. The third line in a window contains only two words and a lot of space between these two words. Well, if I fill this space with other words, the report works fine and print three lines! So I think the space move forward the second word.
