I'm working to devise a custom layout system for my MS-Access forms. So far so good - I've had the idea! But now comes the tricky bit: resizing individual fields such that their width matches in an attractive manner. 

Sad to say, I'm a bit stuck here - surely there must be some function, property or method call that will allow me to specify an exact width for a given field... But if so, I've been unable to find it. 

Can someone here provide me with the information I so desperately need? **Or better yet**, suggest an appropriate Google query or reference site that could provide me with an answer to my query?
