Default Vertical Label

I want a vertically oriented text label. I went to www.lebans.com and
downloaded AccRotext.zip. I opened my Access 2003 database and followed the
instructions to drag 'custom' to my toolbox and made a new control 'ROTATE'
with an 'ON Action' property of =fRotext(). I made the label in design view
of my database and set the tag property to 90. When select the label and
then click on the ROTATE button in my tool box the error message returned is
'Expression you entered has a function that the (database) can't find'.

How do I get the database to recognize this ROTATE function?

Hi,
the sample database from www.lebans.com would have had some code and
functions on the Modules tab with names like clsCommonDialog, modRichEdit
etc.
You need to import all those modules into your database, do a save and
compile, then the error should disappear.

Thanks. All I needed was to copy the module to my database. I think Lebans
could save people who use the rotate text function a lot of grief if he
mentioned the need to copy the module.

Thanks again
