Tilt for Text Boxes???

[AOSLAB]

I need to be able to print a text box on a report at a 45 degree angle. I have looked at the active x control tilt, but it only works with labels. Can anyone help me?

Assuming the text is a title and will not contain information in your table, write the text in an Excel field. Adjust the alignment to 45 degrees and copy and paste it into your form / report.

Actually this text box will be a field that is displayed on an open form. (i.e Forms!FrmShipping![Text]) This field is also part of a table for the same form. Do you have any other suggestions???

Have you tried putting a Hidden Text box on the Report and placing a LABEL in the place where you want the data to appear. Then use the On_Open event to set the label's caption property to the hidden text box's value?

(an untested suggestion)

Another person is trying to do it this way, but we are having trouble figuring the code commands. Got any suggestions???

The code would be:

lblTheLabelToDisplay.Caption = txtMyTextBoxName.Value

Thanks I'll give it a try.

To just rotate text in a textbox go to http://www.lebans.com/xrotatetext.htm , it worked with me. But what I was trying to do is to rotate the whole textbox, inluding borders, make it look like if you did text alignment in Excel.

I'm here for any ideas...
