I know the value includes the band separator which has a height of 1979.1666 (19 * 10000 / 96) and that all bands in designer have it except the first one. Do you know the formula? I guessed 1979.1666 + Lines in DosReportBand * pixels height of form font * 104.1666 (10000 / 96), but it doesn't jibe with a form converted by VFP. To make things easier, all fonts are 7pt Courier New in this report.

>Bands that don't contain an object still have a height of 1 in FpDos, but I am guessing that in VFP their Height is the height of the separator. Is that correct?
