Olivier J Unregistered	Hi a.a.c, You need the setstyle or setstyleext command before performing a stringwidth so that the system knows what to use to calculate the width. Using courier vs Arial would produce different results since one is a monospace font and the other a proportional font. Try it out and let us know if you have further questions. Regards, Olivier
