Formatting in Runtime

[Mary]

I have a runtime application (mde) which includes an report invoice. My
user would like to change the font on this report. Can I give them the
ability to do this? If so how?

Thanks

You could use the Open event of the report to loop through its Controls
collection, and set the FontName property of each appropriate control.

To get a list of available fonts, see:
Enumerating System Fonts
at:

Naturally there could be some issues with the size of the controls, as the
metrics vary between fonts. There is an example based on calculating font
sizes at:
