Rotate a field in a report 2

[kittysaid]

I am looking for a module or method to be able to rotate a text field 90 degrees in a report.

There is no way to just rotate text in Access like there is in Word or Excel.<br>But...<br>If it's static (the same numbers or letters) you can make a bitmap and do what ever you want.<br><br>I wrote complete routine one time that inserted bitmaps of numbers that where rotated 90deg. So it was the Invoice number like 388303. a VBA routine in the On_open event.<br><br>It had 10 bitmaps that were un-hidden and moved into place.<br><br>Let me know.<br> <p>DougP<br><a href=mailto: dposton@universal1.com> dposton@universal1.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Ask me how Bar-codes can help you be more productive.

There are too many variables to use bitmaps.&nbsp;&nbsp;I used bitmaps in the form on unchanging text.&nbsp;&nbsp;I had heard there were some modules out there that could rotate fields.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have seen some modules to rotate text fields.

Access 2000 allows vertical selections on text and labels

glo4,

If you are still here where did you find that? I've looked all over and can't find it. Jessica Morgan

R. it's in the properties for any textbox on a form or report. About 6 properties down from the top on the All tab.

Yeah, I found it. But it doesn't give me what I really want. Oh well. No real easy way to do it. Maybe some day soon Microsoft will offer that flexibility with Access. Jessica Morgan
