Al --

Thanks so much! For all the times that I have hacked and worked in VCXs and SCXs, it simply did not cross my mind to try the same in an FRX.

I certainly wished I had asked this a few weeks ago, before I went off to automating Excel (which works -- but just not all the time)

Thanks again.


>You're right, the designer says between 4 and 127.

There were 2 rows in the FRX with fontsize = 127. I hacked them both to 250. Opened the report in the VFP report designer, it seems to respect that size.

>When I first opened the hacked FRX in the Report Designer the label was still sized per the 127 point font, but as soon as I clicked on the label it automagically grew to the proper size for 250 point font. I didn't explicitly make any changes, but when I went to save it I was asked to save, I said yes. Now the report opens as expected. You might have to experiment with hacking control sizes as well if you want to avoid manually opening the reports after hacking the font size. But if you only have a few to do maybe that's not a big issue.

>>>IIRC dropdowns for various designers would not list font sizes over a certain size (might be 72 as you're seeing). The trick then was to type in the larger value you want, then it gets accepted.
