Size & position text boxes programatically? 2

[santastefano]

I am producing invoices from the client table
The client table currently uses First Name, Family Name.
As these are sized for the longest names there is often a big gap between the First name and the Fasmily Name on the printed document for example

Jo Coley

Because Jo must also allow for Alexander.
Is it possible to size the first text box by contents and place the second text box immediately to the right?
Any ideas/pinters/suggestions gratefully received.

Have only one TextBox and poupulate it with Trim([First Name]) & " " & Family Name

Hope This Helps, PH.
