Rotate a field 90 degrees

[Dave Eliot]

Is there any way to rotate a field 90 degrees in a report? (I've designed a
DVD cover [report] in my video dtabase and want the title to be rotated 90
degrees for the spine of the DVD case.)

You can rotate a label by setting its Vertical property.
You cannot control the direction of the text (i.e. 270 verses 90.)

There is also a bug where the text fails to display under some combinations
of Windows and Access (e.g. Win XP + A2003.) Using the Arial CYR font
usually works around this.

If you need something more powerful, try:

I do have Win XP +A2003. Changing the font to Arial CYR did the trick.

Thank you so much!
