Question

For specific reasons, I need to be able to display some values on the bottom half of my report upside down(inverted). The intention of this report is to be printed and folded down the middle, so I would like for it to adhere to this specific format. I can’t find anything that does this easily. Some ideas that I have considered but don’t know how to implement:

‘importing’ an upside-down font and setting the control’s font to that font?

somehow inverting the entire control 180 degrees

Does anyone have any experience accomplishing this?

Edit: installing an upside down font and setting the control source’s font property to that font was the solution that I implemented. For some upside down fonts, it may be necessary to call str_reverse on the text, as the upside down font may reverse the order Problem is– This would only work on the computer with the font installed, right?

Answer 1

I think your options are:

• Lebans: http://www.lebans.com/
• Word mail merge
• An upside down font
• An image.

Access has a Vertical property, but that is only for 90°.
