[MS_AccessPros] Width of characters

 

Hi
I have to print a report onto a pre-printed sheet. One of the boxes on the sheet is 8cm wide. Without using a fixed width font, is there anyway of determining how wide text will print out on the form - obviously it will depend upon what the user types & whether they use all uppercase.

After the user has entered text I would like a function to calculate the width that it would print out (Arial, 9pt) & then let the user know if that's too much - so they can abbreviate.

Any suggestions?
Many thanks
Jane
