How to achieve text fonts bigger than 127 ?

[Sonicman via AccessMonster.com]

We have a computer in our production facility and the PLC's are already
dumping data into an Access database.

Employee bonuses are given upon reaching a given number of "points" which
are already determined by a Query I just made.

To stimulate employees to reach a higher number of points I have been asked
to create some way of displaying on the computer screen the total number of
points achived in real-time.

My idea is to create a simple screen-wide form that will update itself every
minute with a label control displaying the number of points. PROBLEM is, I
cannot get a big enough font! When I try to enter "200" in the text size
property I am getting a message that the maximum value is 127.

Does anyone have any other way of displaying a bigger font? Like converting
to an image and stretching it or something?

Thanks for any help you could give

Have you checked into the "Accessibility" options in Windows? It may be
that you can use your 127 pt output from Access, but use the Windows
"magnifier" setting...

Two possible solutions:

1) Use the RotateText ActiveX control on my site here:

or

2) Use the vbPictureBox control on my site here:

uh.... ok I can't get bigger text but how can I change the caption through
code? There is no ".caption" object....

I tried using the ".value" but I am getting some kind of Invalid parameter
error

Any hints ?
