Interesting query. Is the -- comment valid SQL syntax? Could a badly formed query be throwing the exception?

That thread is from June, I told you my memory was bad I do seem the recall a thead on the darkside discussing fonts and this was where I first learned this tip. Of course I cannot find the thread anymore. Thanks for the reminder though, Anakin.

Glad that helped. I seem to recall somebody on the darkside (Christina?) telling me (or somebody else, memory no good these days) that the number is like an index into some global font list or something.

Fonts in LV do suck quite a bit. I use system style controls exclusively for GUI type FPs. I normally shove these settings into my LabVIEW.ini and app.ini file appFont = "0" 13 dialogFont = "2" 13 systemFont = "1" 13 BDFont = "2" 13 This way the fonts are consistent between OSs that do and do not support high res fonts (i.e. WinXP). I have just tested it out with Win7 set to 150% (I normally use 100%) and it also works fine. These keys also stop the BD getting messed up when a VI is edited on a WinXP and then a Win7 machine (due to font size differences). Note: I have only a vague understanding of what these keys actually do, but they work for me I think these settings force the app to use the fonts specified, and the sizes, so they are not affected by font changes. I have seen similar settings where the actual font is specified (i.e. appFont = "Tahoma" 13 etc) Not sure this is exactly what you are after, but its worth a try.
