Beware IE7 Screws up vertical text controls in Access reports

[JohnnyR]

I've found another problem in Access (I'm using 2002) that appeared after
installing IE7.

If you have a vertical control (label or text) on a report with Arial font
it will print in what appears to be Times New Roman.

To reproduce:
Create a new report
On it place a label control and set its Caption property to "anything you
like"
Make sure the Font is set to Arial
Set Font Size to 20 to view easier
Now copy & paste the control
Set the copied control's Vertical property to Yes
Resize as necessary

Now Print

This is weird, the horizontal label prints as Arial but the vertical one
prints Times New Roman
I've just noticed that it doesn't have to be arial font, most other fonts
still print out as T N R
On machines that still have IE6 this behaviour doesn't occur.

This is scary
Any one any ideas on how to correct this problem or is it a bug?

Cheers
John

i have an access app that uses the microsoft web browser control in a form.
it seems to be crashing on at least some xp home machines. i distributed
this with access 2002 runtime from the developer kit. when the users report
the error to ms they are told there is a fix and start downloading a whole
bunch of updates including some office 2003 service packs apparently (i
can't replicate the problem here on xp pro that is up to date). after the
first set of updates the app doesn't crash at the same point, but still
doesn't work... last crash doesn't give any more ms fixes to download. any
ideas???

Hi =?Utf-8?B?Sm9obm55Ug==?=,

I recommend you post this to an Access-specific newsgroup. Very few Access
folks happen by, here...
