Text Align
Hi, Access 2002.
I want to use the same report for 2 sets of data. One set is text, the other is numeric. What I want is the ability to align the text at report time. I have tried the report_open event and the detail1_print. I get the error: "Object doesn't support this property or method" on the line: ctl.TextAlign = cRightAlign fyi cRightAlign=3 Any ideas or recommendations appreciated :-) Many thanks, Jonathan

This worked for me. I place a text box (txtCount) in the detail section with
a running sum to get values 1, 2, 3,.... Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If Me.txtCount Mod 2 = 1 Then Me.FirstName.TextAlign = 1 Else Me.FirstName.TextAlign = 3 End If End Sub -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "Jonathan" wrote in message ...

Since the code the poster used had "ctl" as the control reference, I suspect
the poster was looping through the controls collection and try to set TextAlign for all controls. Not all controls have a TextAlign property and therefore the error message. I think we need to see more of the code. "Duane Hookom" wrote in message ... This worked for me. I place a text box (txtCount) in the detail section with a running sum to get values 1, 2, 3,....

Thanks for staying with this.... the lines of code a

Are you suggesting this now works or do you still get an error? -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "Jonathan" wrote in message ...

Hi Duane, sorry about the confusion. In fact is was still not working until
your post prompted to look at my code again... blushIt was absence of good naming convention/blush The code was falling over when it hit a real line control!
