First, an aside: Wow! I haven't used the Reflection forum since the WRQ days. I sure wish this one contained all the posts from that one. Voila: instant knowledge base!

As you can expect, we're using WRQ versions of Reflection: 6, 7, 8, 9. When I bring up the Reflection Basic Editor, there's a Tools | Options menu item that permits me to change the font and type size in the editor. But those settings don't apply to the Variables window when I'm debugging a script. I've tried playing with settings for the Variables window in the Windows registry, but Reflection blithely ignores font settings for the Variables window.

Several of my users don't have eyesight like mine, and have trouble viewing what they call the "grain of rice" font. It sure would be useful to be able to increase the size of the type in the Variables window.

If there's anybody out there who can help with that, I'll be amazed.

I guess I'll have to grab the current version of Reflection and give it a try...

Nothing has changed for the Reflection Basic Editor since the 90's, so there is no new way to change the size of text in the variable watch window...still. Reflection Basic, though always available, is not really the best choice. Since about the turn of the century, Reflection has provided Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, a far superior programming tool. New macros should be composed in VBA, not Reflection Basic.

In Reflection VBA, the size of the text in the variable watch window is not configurable either, however, the size of the text in the "immediate window" does match that of the editor itself. So if you set the editor font to 14pt, you will see that in the immediate window as well, where the results of "debug.print" statements can be found.
