Just remembered, needed to ask about fonts. Basically, I'm creating a database for some people to use, and the fonts used in it, are not on their computers. Is it possible to "inbed" a font into the database? Any help would be superb!
Thanks

I don't know, but I think that embedding a font in the Access db environment isn't available...not until you get to the stand-alone program level of distribution...but,

Why not...

1) Limit the fonts to the ones the users have installed.

2) Use ubiquitous fonts like Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New, etc.

3) Use MS Serif, MS Sans Serif, etc.

4) Avoid esoteric decorative fonts designed for the retail jewelry trade.

5) Install the fonts you use on the users' boxes (those that can be lawfully installed--not all fonts are free).
