Can anyone tell me what Me.hDC is.

I presume this is a property only available in Access versions after AK2. Is
there an equivalent for AK2

Thanks

hDC = handle to Device Context, which is used in many GDI calls. The
property does not exist in older versions, but you can use GDI calls
to get it (e.g. GetDC).
You're far in the outfield with calls like this. Lebans' site may
offer some guidance.

Thanks for that, even though I can't apparently use it.
I presume me.hDC returns just a long integer so this can be used instead.

Trying to create rotated labels, rather than rotated text ( Stephen's
solutions come up with a box almost the size of the whole label (Vertical
height and Horizontal width) Unfortunately you can't set its fill to
transparent, so a number of them close together obscure each other. I need a
lable (narrow rectangle) at an angle which fits the text.

Thanks
