Hello Nadya

Its getting late here so I may be misunderstanding, but if Vlad's solution is almost right but for the commas, perhaps adding the commas earlier would help.

Example below

space(_screen.TextWidth(alltrim(buyer)+", ")/_screen.TextWidth(" "))+Address

+ etc.


hope this helps

space(_screen.TextWidth(alltrim(buyer))/_screen.TextWidth(" "))+", "+Address

+ etc. Only first record shows Address part. Other records don't show Address at all. Perhaps, we can not use _screen object in a Report. May be I have to do through UDF.

>> Another angle you could take on Vlad's original suggestion is to use _SCREEN.TextWidth() instead of the command TXTWIDTH(). You'd need to set the the _SCREEN fontname/size to the same as your report form. If that's not acceptable, you could create a non-visible form object (forms have textwidth() too) and just call its method.
