>I see, you would like to size your textbox controls with an approximative width based on the maximum number of characters. There are a few builders that will allow you to do that. In your case, you will get the exact size as you are working in non proportional font. I think those builders are called autosize builders or something like that.

That works great, thanks. Another related question though. If an object is on the form I can right-click and pick Builder..., but how do I activate the builder for an object in a grid? Right-click just keeps selecting the column.
