  If you want to set a FIXED with, I take it you have (obvious) changed the AutoWidth to False?!
  Else if you want to change the text in a memo (with AutoWidth True), try using Memo1.Lines[0]:='this is a long line of text'; in the memos' script window.

  But I need it to be AutoWidth=True. What exactly I need is to place the memo at custom coordinates. The top coordinate should be the top of the memo, but the left coordinate should be the center of the memo. That's why I need the width - I need to calculate the "Memo.Left".

  That's what I'm doing - I am changing the Memo1.Lines[0]:="bla bla bla" in the memos' script window, but the width doesn't change.

  A quick workaround would be to bandalign the memo to baWidth and use the Center alignment.

  Its a bug/design feature...
  
  It looks like the AutoWidth is only used when displaying the text as the following script does exactly what you started the post with, ie. Width returns the design width and not the actual width.
  
  Memo1.AutoWidth:=False;
  Memo1.AutoWidth:=True;
  nCenter:=[PAGEWIDTH]-Memo1.Width;
  Memo1.Left:=nCenter/2;
  
  <ABOVE POST>
  I thought that is what you wanted to do; display a memo centered?

  Yes, it looks like bug, maybe it will be fixed in the new versions. Thank you very much

  Hi
  Try this make report 2pass, in script of memo which is in the same band,but processed after the memo in question, gather width info of memo in an array, then in obpevent of band use if finalpass statement to use the array value to calculate and set the memos position.
