I have a label on one particular form that displays differently depending on
the user. The form is a "home screen" of a Front End MDE that has been
distributed. The label in question, on 2 particular users, seems to stretch
the font, which results in a portion of the left and right ends being cut off.
(Alignment of the label is set to Center.)

Pixel settings on ALL user's display is set to 1024x768, so that doesn't
appear to be the problem. All other labels within the database are fine,
including other labels that exist on that same form.

What would cause this behavior?
Any help is appreciated!

Slez,
The first thing I would suspect is that those 2 users don't have that
exact font installed.
It's been my experience that when Access (really Windows) can't
find a font match, it tries to use a "compatible" font from that "class" of
fonts.
Probably... if you used Arial Condensed, and the user didn't have
Arial Condensed... it might use normal Arial.

Thanks for your reply. After some checking, the font is in fact NOT
installed on those 2 users stations. Another good example of why I love this
forum!
Thank you!
