FormatCount As Integer)
Dim rpt as Report
Dim strMessage As String
Dim intHorSize As Integer, intVerSize As Integer
Set rpt = Me
strMessage = "DisplayMessage"
With rpt
'Set scale to pixels, and set FontName and
'FontSize properties.
.ScaleMode = 3
.FontName = "Courier"
.FontSize = 24
End With
' Horizontal width.
intHorSize = Rpt.TextWidth(strMessage)
' Vertical height.
intVerSize = Rpt.TextHeight(strMessage)
' Calculate location of text to be displayed.
Rpt.CurrentX = (Rpt.ScaleWidth/2) - (intHorSize/2)
Rpt.CurrentY = (Rpt.ScaleHeight/2) - (intVerSize/2)
' Print text on Report object.
Rpt.Print strMessage
