Subject Re: Adjusting font size From Andy Taylor <andy.taylor.1959@outlook.com> Date Fri, 24 Mar 2023 16:43:27 +0000 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi Tom, An update -  I did some more checking and there is a way that you can get access to the font size setting of the editor window that opens up. I was wrong when I said earlier that the window is not part of the grid. When the window is opened (but not before) it gets instantiated as a property of the grid - for your memofield the address would be: form.grid1.columns.["column11"].editorControl.memoEditor.fontSize=30 However, that is complex dBASE programming because you cannot use that address until the memoEditor exists.  If you REALLY HAVE to do it this way then I could create a method for the form that would do it - just let me know.
