I don't think this is possible, but someone out there might be able to surprise me:

My database has an option to print labels to a dedicated barcode label printer, using the printer's own DOS application (called with the Shell function). The DOS label software has the facility to print text in any orientation, and I can make it do all sorts of things, but...

...I want to give the user a sort of 'print preview', which means I need to have a text box or label on my form which is displayed rotated 90 degrees from normal, (i.e. so you would have to tilt your head to the left to read it)

Anybody got any tips or ideas??

Thanks in advance

Mike
