Adding a large "DRAFT" label to a report upon printing

[Tom]

I have a highly formatted report with user setup options driven via a
form tied to a REPORT_OPTIONS table. One of the report options is
IS_DRAFT, (Yes/No field).

How would I generate a large semi-transparent or colored "DRAFT - NOT
FOR RELEASE" or similar label to print out across the page (i.e.,
across the detail records) if the user wishes to circulate the report
prior to final release? Ideally, I'd like the DRAFT label angled as
is customary in Word, WordPerfect, etc., but I've never seen that done
in Access before.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Tom

You might want to create code in the On Page event like:
Private Sub Report_Page()
If Me.IsDraft = True Then
Me.FontSize = 72
Me.FontName = "Courier New"
Me.CurrentX = 1440
Me.ForeColor = 12632256
Me.Print "D"
Me.Print "R"
Me.Print "A"
Me.Print "F"
Me.Print "T"
End If
End Sub
