>>>One of my users has a slow 486. Large report previews seem to burden the system. If I add a bitmap and make it big in order to make the detail finer, will that make things much worse? The bitmap will only appear on a few of the pages, probably. There are already about a hundred controls. Given that, about how big can the bitmap be before it can be expected to make things worse?

Ok. You should look at Win32api functions, such as CreateFont and SelectObject.
