Using MS Access - Formatting

Expert: Bob Heifler - 7/9/2009

Question
I am trying to get a field to read top to bottom instead of left to right as to create a list to print out on my form. Is this something simple I am overlooking or can it not be done?

Answer
Michelle,
Access version 2000 and later has as a report control property on the 'Other' tab in the property window, a property called 'Vertical'.
Set this to 'Yes' and it will present your report or form data vertically.

Microsoft offers a KB article on this, if you are having any trouble with this property.
