I think you do not take into account textbox border and textbox.margin.
Just in case, check Window/Form ScaleMode property and form textheight/Textwidth and txtwidth().
>Thanks, but honestly the thought of putting code in everything I write to make sure the user has basic fonts installed and changing all the fonts on all my forms if they don't seems like more work than it's worth. :) If they try to load a form and it gives an error that the font doesn't exist, they'll call me and we'll install the fonts.
