How are ya matrixindicator . . .

Access VBA uses a screen measurment called [blue]twips.[/blue]

1 inch = 1440 twips
or for you
2.54=1440

twips = (1440 * cm)/2.54
and
cm = (2.54 * twips)/1440

See Ya! . . . . . .

[PHV]

The VBA help for the Width property clearly states that its value is returned in twips.
Note: 1440 twips = 1 inch

Hope This Helps, PH.
