RotateLabelVer20

[Scott J]

To Stephen Lebans or anyone else with ideas,

I have been using RotateLabelVer20 with much success in Access 2003 reports
to print very large fonts (250pt). However, I'm finding that as I go back to
previous mdb's, something happens to the formatting of the control -- even
when I have the control centered, it cuts off the right side as if it's
forgotten how how wide the control really is. I can use Left and see it all,
but that causes other formatting problems trying to make it look right on
the page.

Some other bits and pieces of information...
I use Impact and enter 250, but it reduces back to 249.5
Properties of the control: left=0", top=.5, width=7.375, height=3.667
Printing a three digit numeric field
HAlignment=Center_titlabel_HAlign
VAlignment-Middle_titlabel_VAlign
Rotation=0

I've tried uninstalling the Activex control. Restarting Access and a few
other things I've probably forgotten.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

I have not heard of this behaviour before. Similiar issues have been
described for ActivX controls on a TAB or SubForm/Report.

For reports, if you are not rotating the font, then I would use the Print
method of the Report object to render the large size text myself.

Thank you! I was making it too hard...WAAAYYY too hard (although your rotate
text control is still really cool).

I had obviously never dug into the Print method, but after some
experimenting, I now have it working.

Thanks again,
Scott
