Hi Niall, thank you, but this is not what I need. Say, for instance, I have a field "FirstName" defined with w=3.0in and font="Times New Roman", fontsize="12pt". The first record from the dat file has the value "Niall", the second record has the value "Alexander". What I need is the resulting length of the strings "Neill" and "Alexander".  Counting characters doesn't help, because the width of the different characters varies.
