Here's the follow up to my previous enquiry
I want to define the width of my temp window to match the longest sentence in this sample 3 line message
In this case for example I need the code query to produce the number 31

mes = 'I need the greatest line length'+chr(13)+chr(10)+'Of this 3 line message'+chr(13)+chr(10)+'any suggestions??'

then I can use that length to define the width of the window that will open.
(I hope i'm not regressing your coding experiences too far back.)

tnx for your help
