You might be able to make use of the RichText ActiveX control. Quick testing with dropping it onto a form I was able to get to the font object while it was running and change the font.size to 372. This gave me a capital letter O about 4.5 inch high.

The limitation seems to be the font size which is apparently 127. I didn't realize there was a limitation on font size, but the fact is I've never had a need to go this high. Graphics would be tough as there is a need to display literally hundreds of different amounts. James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.
