Hi!

There is nice function - TxtWidth(). It allows to calculate the size of text by font and font size. For field, get the field size and replicate it with character that have average width:

TxtWidth(replicate('A',FieldSize),'Arial','12')

Above function returns required width for character fields. Of course, when you use 'W' instead of 'A', for most fonts above function will return larger number. For numeric fields replace 'A' by '8'.

There is also FONTMETRIC( ) function, you can give it a use too.
