Font metrics?

[MyndPhlyp]

When I was working with Java I had some nice methods and properties
available to me for determining font metrics. One of the calls was even so
nice as to accept a string and return the displayed length.

Is there a slick way to do this in VBA in Access 2000?

My initial use is to set the column widths in a MSFlexGrid based on the
longest string but I will also extend that use out to other objects. (I'm
plowing through some API call information right now to see about addressing
this but if there is a much easier way I'd love to know it.)

Take a look at www.lebans.com. I think there's something useful there.

Thanx. That is where I was directed to in the other NG. Actually, by the
looks of the contents, there is quite a bit of useful stuff there.
