Adapt Lebans' AutoSizeFont\AutoSizeFontVer2.mdb tools to report?

[MLH]

Was hoping to make use of AutoSizeFont\AutoSizeFontVer2.mdb
procedures to auto-resize fonts in a textbox control on a report when
the fixed physical size of the textbox was insufficient to display all
the text in the source table's memo field. One could, I suppose,
simply count the displayable chars at various acceptable fontsize
settings and use If-Then or Select Case to effect an appropriate
change.

But Lebans' solution, I think, is a more elegant one. I'm just not
sure I can make it work with reports.

Check the samples in the mdb file. They demonstrate the
code for what you want (which is the same for reports and
forms).

The code you're looking for will be vaguely like:

For Me.textbox.FontSize = 12 To 4 Step -1
If fTextHeight(Me.textbox) < Me.textbox.Height _
Then Exit For
Next
