I've been using code like this to know the height of the header in a grid. The idea is to set the width and caption, make the label visible (but not really) and note the height. I'm using version 07.00.0000.9262.

_SCREEN.NEWOBJECT('x','label')
WITH _SCREEN.x
  .Left = -200   && Can't see it here.
  .Width = 30
  .FontName = "Arial"
  .FontSize = 9
  .Caption = "      5   Total"      && This text causes failure.
*   .Caption = "      5    Total"     && This text works fine.
   .Wordwrap = .T.
   .AutoSize = .T.
  .Visible = .T.
?  .Height
ENDWITH
_SCREEN.RemoveObject('x')
RETURN 

Does anyone see why this should fail so abruptly?
