Help with rotating a text box on a report.

[FatMan]

Hi all:
I have a report where I need to rotate a text box 90 degrees so it prints
vertical instead of horizontal. The text box contains a bar code that will
be printed using the font of "Bar Code 3of 9" (Bar Code39 F HR top).

Can this be done?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
FatMan

Fatman,

I don't recall if you can in earlier versions of Acces, but in Access 2007
there is a vertical property on labels that might accomplish what you
require. I don't have any bar code fonts to test is, but you could set the
caption of the label acording to the value of a textbox possibly in the
Current event of the form like:

[lblSomeLabel].Caption = [txtSomeField]

The issue you may have is the way the lable is facing which would be read
from the left.

God Bless,
