>Does anyone know why the width of textboxes in a Grid, in Edit mode (view=1) are way out of wack if the Font is Arial? The widths only seem to be correctly sized if the font is MS Sans Serif? When the grid's font is Arial, VFP for some reason sets the size of the textboxes to about 3 times as large as they should be. Thus, a 40 character field runs all the way across my screen and beyond. Whereas, it should only be about a third of that size. I was hoping vfp8 would correct this. Or, maybe there's a way that I'm not aware of.

I use Arial all the way into my applications. I never saw such reaction. Is there any sample code you can send me by email so I can test yours? By that, we'll be able to see if it's local or related to the code.
