>following your reply, I also took a look to fontmetric() function and scalemode property. My concern is to design a form to show properly if ever a user uses Large font setting which I don't at design time. So that content of text fields won't be troncated.

I had problem with that once when some users were using large fonts.

It is not easy to support that and I always advise my client that I deliver an application which will support small and normal fonts but not large fonts. It turned out to be interesting because some users who were using large fonts before and switch to small or normal fonts discovered that weird behavior here and there for several applications were all fixed. :) It's not just a Visual FoxPro situation but a global one where large fonts is causing weird behaviors here and there. Also, normally, if someone want to benefit of high resolution then why don't they use it with 17". :) I've seen some people using 1024 resolution on 15 inches and they were justifing the large font because the monitor was too small.
