>We had originally used MS Sans Serif for a project converted from DOS FoxPro around 2000. Three years ago when we updated the 300 screens to allow resizing we found that font would not scale worth a darn. We converted everything to Arial and are very happy with it. It works well in all sizes, is very standard and just plain looks good.

Arial is what I currenlty use, and it does look good. However, is another font would allow the forms to look a little more recent, this would be the time for me to easily make that change. Thanks for your thoughts.
