possibility leaps to mind. Since you're interested in how many characters can fit into whatever number of pixels, why not try something in this neighborhood:

put the formattedWidth of char 1 to 15 of field "myField" into myTemp

That's what I am doing, but it doesn't work if field "myField" isn't in the current card of the current stack, at least to as far as I understand it - it just returns zero without so much as an electronic squawk. Bummer for those of us who want to keep our working fields far away in obscure substacks, and worse bummer if you believe the RR documentation (will BZ, I promise).
