Hi Nadia,

No I didn't try.
But I can't understand the difference.

_screen.textWidth reports a wide in pixel and TXTWIDTH a character length of a character expression with respect to the average character width for a font.

_screen.TextWidth() = TXTWIDTH() * FONTMETRIC(6)

So

_screen.fontname="Times New Roman"
_screen.fontsize=9
_screen.fontbold=.t.
_screen.textwidth(alltrim(buyer)+", ") / _screen.textwidth(" ")

is eqal to

TXTWIDTH(alltrim(buyer)+", ","Times New Roman",9,"B") / TXTWIDTH(" ","Times New Roman",9,"B") )
