Reportfield upside down

[flaviooooo]

Hey,

I don't know if this can be done, but how would I put a field on my report upside down?

Thanks in advance

You can set a field to run vertical, but I don't know of a way to make it upside down.
I'm guessing you'd have to convert it to an image file, invert it, then display it.
OR - create an upside down backwards font. Then reverse the order of the characters in your field before displaying them.

WHY?

It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Aart, how exactly would you make it run vertical?

Kind regards
Fabian

Fabian,
What version of Access are you using? Did you check all the properties of the control?

It's Access 97, sorry I forgot to mention that.

Didn't see any interesting property on the control however...

Access 97 didn't have this functionality.

Did you check genomon's suggestion? If so, how did it work? If not, why not?

If Stephen doesn't have the answer, no one will.
