Hi Tim, You could use the 'formattedWidth' function to figure out how wide a certain chunk of text in a field is, and then shorten the last 4 chars with "..." until it fits in the width as set in the tabStops. Quite a bit of work, but it can be done -- hope this gets you started, Jan Schenkel. ===== Join us at the European Revolution Conference November 14-16, MALTA. ~ http://TechieTours.com/Rev/ ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
