rotate text box

[s0ccerdude]

I'm using several text boxes as page headers (denoting column headings). The text in each box is rather lengthy, so I've changed the formatting to "verticle" so that the headings would fit. This makes for a somewhat messy design that is difficult to read, however. I would like to be able to rotate the text boxes @ 45 degrees for easier reference. Is there any way to do this in Access?

MS Access 2002

I have not seen anywhere that you can do this. However if the column widths are fixed, you could type it up and format the column headers in excel, take a print screen, edit in paint and paste the column headers graphic into the page header of the report. It will be static and will take a little work but it my be the only solution. Good luck.

You can do this with the rotate label ActiveX control from Stephen Lebans at

I've used it and it works great, but if you have lots of labels it may get a bit tricky.
