Strikethru font? 2

[tbpcpa]

I have a yes/no field that if checked I want the rest of the record being printed to have single strikethru line appearing over the characters.. like a legal strikethru... can this be done in Access reporting?

Never seen it. The ONLY useful thing I could find about it on comp.databases.ms-access is this:

How can i (if possible) make a font strike through (a line in the middle of
the word) like in word ?

For bound data, use an RTF (Rich Text Format) control. I don't like the one
Microsoft provides, and I assume the one from FMS is better.

For static text, I find that WordArt works well. Just use Insert / Object
and pick "Microsoft Word Picture" as the object type.

This was a while ago, but Steve, the second poster, is one of the big guns on a very, very smart forum. It looks like he's saying there's no way to do it in a standard text box, but you can use any of the options he mentions.

FMS is a company that sells products to help you make slicker databases. I've never used their stuff, but they're highly regarded by good developers.

Hope this helps.

Well the only thing I could come up with would be to use another font whereby all the characters are pre-lined thru.... and simply swap the font ..... but that's all I could think of.....

Thanks

If you want the entire record to have the strikethrough effect, you could overlay a line control over the middle of your record horizontally, and set its Visible property to No. In the On Format on your detail section, put code like this:

If Me.YesNoField = -1 Then
   Me.Line1.Visible = True
Else
   Me.Line1.Visible = False
End If

Let me know if this helps.....
