How to rotate a label on an Access form.

[dougie]

You can set the 'vertical' property of the label, but this is usually unsuitable as the text rotates to be read from the left instead of the right. It would appear you can't rotate in the other direction without using an activex component, which then needs installed on every PC using the application. In fact you can fake rotation in the other direction by inserting a chart on the form and making the label you want the title of the Y axis. Make all the other components of the chart invisible by selecting 'none' for axis lines & ticks and setting everything else to the background colour of the form. It's a fuss, but it works.

Yes I've looked at that, but it's one of the Activex solutions. My method is clunky but keeps everything within Access.
