Hi everybody
I need a TextBox with "rotation angle" property. Where can I find it?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot AlCamp for your answer, but actually I did download it but I
didn't know how to use it as a TextBox, I can just put it in a form as a
Label (with the rotation property). How can I do with TextBox
Thanks again

Sorry, but I haven't ever had a need to use rotated text of any sort, so
I can't speak to Stephen's actual code. I know it has been recommended here
many times.
Try http://www.mvps.org/access/search.htm and search under "rotated".
There are 2 other solutions there.

To be honest though, I've used some of Stephen's code for other
functions, and when I couldn't get it to work, I just kept plugging away til
I finally understood how it worked. In every case, it was worth the
effort, because I was forced to learned new ways to use new techniques.
99% of problems running other folks code are errors in properly
customizing it from the author's example to your unique situation.

If you downloaded the RotateText ActiveX control then it functions
exactly like a normal Access TextBox control with the addition of a
Rotation property. Like the standard TextBox control it has a Data prop
that can be bound to a field.

Moony,

Just to make sure I understand what is wanted here: You want to be able to
rotate the text that you enter into the text box? Not the label? In other
words, you want to be able to tell the text box to display the text that you
enter vertically or at a 30 deg angle or whatever?

Is the text box tied to data entry? Or is it only reflecting data that is
already in the table? If it is used for display purposes only, maybe you
could use the Label control and set the value to display or record the
desired angle of display in the table and use this to rotate the label when
it is displayed?
 
Well, Actually I want to use both label (to display data) and textbox ( to
enter data) with the rotation property. I can use Steph's control to display
data but how to enter data (I mean to type into a textbox like the usual
one)?
Many thanks for all your prompt and precious answers, I appreciate you help
