Rotate Text

[lmn]

Has anyone succeeded in using Lebans rotate text code?

I've tried and tried and tried and it won't work. Is there another alternative - or a more user friendly one?

I think it's great code - don't get me wrong - but set it up as I'm supposed to and it does nothing. What happens is that I click the text - then I click the ROTATE button I created and it simply copies and pastes the text I clicked.

The customer really wants rotated text on a report (due Monday of course) and I've told him he gets it rotated to the right or nothing at this point... :-/

I don't have VB on my computer and can't get it (they have strict license policies). The only tool I have to work with is Microsoft Access 2000.

Thx

I tried a rotate code last year but i think it is for labels only.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do.

But, if you want to simply have rotated column headers for a table, create the column header across one row in excel (where you can rotate the text) and embed that excel worksheet in your access report, sizing and positioning it right over the table.

I actually created the rotated text in Excel and then created a JPG out of it. Looks nasty when printed - I will try embedding the worksheet to see what happens.

Thanks.
